(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jamel Akib. In eighteenth-century New Bedford, Massachusetts, nine-year-old Emanuel's Portuguese immigrant father still feels the need to hide his Jewish faith. Tired of secretly lighting Hanukkah candles and feeling ashamed, Emanuel decides to stow away on a whaling ship and become a strong, brave whaler. Dramatic chalk pastel art illustrates the less-than-believable, yet still engrossing, story.
