Gershon's Monster: A Story for the Jewish New Year

Gershon was not always the best person he could be, often making common mistakes like broken promises and small lies without any remorse or apologies. He believed he could simply cast these mistakes away every Rosh Hashanah by putting them in a sack and throwing it into the sea. However, his careless attitude would eventually catch up to him, raising the question if he still had a chance to change. Eric A. Kimmel and Jon J Muth beautifully depict this traditional Hasidic legend, highlighting the theme of renewal and hope for the new year. The book is a Sydney Taylor Book Award Winner.
