About this book
"When the Chickens Went on Strike" is set in a Jewish village in Russia during Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. The story follows a tradition where villagers swing a live chicken over their heads to erase bad deeds, but the chickens rebel and go on strike. Through their protest, the wise chickens teach the villagers, including a young boy, a lesson about compassion and respect. The book is illustrated with full-color pictures and is written for children in grades K-3.
