Book Synopsis
Miracles can happen when you least expect them.
Miri is excited that her grandfather, Sabi, as she calls him, is visiting all the way from Jerusalem for Hanukkah. They love playing music together-he on the accordion, and she on her drums of pots and pans.
Miri is captivated by Sabi teaching her about the miracle of Hanukkah and how to count the candles on the menorah in Hebrew. Her parents are so pleased, they offer to buy her a drum set as a Hanukkah present.
Miri and Sabi's trip to the mall to pick out the new drum set goes awry when Sabi can't remember where he parked his car. Luckily, a group of young people come to the rescue, and the trip becomes a celebration of shared values and vocabulary that unite people across religions and cultures.
Based on a true story, Miri and her Drum Set brings together the idea that people of different religions all share the basic values of good will, kindness, and generosity toward others. Miri and Sabi's special bond and illuminating adventure will delight children and parents alike.
