The story is a collection of three tales about children learning the significance of religious traditions: Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread, and First Fruits. Each story explores faith, family, and the importance of understanding one's beliefs.
The book narrates the stories of three families from different parts of the world, each preparing for a religious festival. The Zigmans in Jerusalem prepare for Yom Teruah, the Li family in Beijing for the Day of Atonement, and the Abadi family, Syrian refugees, for the Feast of Tabernacles.
