Editorial : From Publishers Weekly Just in time for Purim comes this lovely retelling of the story of Esther, the young Jewish girl who became a Persian queen and saved her fellow Jews from annihilation. Wolkstein casts this inspiring biblical tale in the form of a diary. In her own words, Esther tells how she came of age in a strange land; she records her hopes, joys, fears and sorrows as she moves from quiet teenager to exalted queen. She reflects, also, upon the meaning of her actions as they affect not only her people but also her understanding of her own identity. Wijngaard's lavish illustrations and Wolkstein's rendering of Esther's first-person narration breathe new humanity into this grand and glorious story, introducing to all children the power of self-sacrifice. Ages 7- up. Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.

We've bought this a couple times, but are a bit disappointed this year. For someone who needs a grip on the basics, this is an appropriate tool. It was actually enjoyable to read.

The pages were not lined to write notes and there is not enough space to put your appointments. Albert Ellis once made the comment that the goal of therapy was not just to help people feel better (he was referring to a short-term, quick-fix that would not last), the goal of therapy is to help people get better and stay that way.
