Inside, the boy waited for the seder to start.

Outside, the kitten waited for the moon to rise.

On the first night of Passover, a boy welcomes family and friends to a Seder. As they celebrate the holiday traditions inside, a stray kitten roams outside.

When it's time for the boy's favorite part of the Seder, both the boy and the kitten are in for a remarkable surprise.

Lesléa Newman weaves together a masterful lyrical voice with Jewish tradition in this contemporary celebration of family and friends—both old and new.
