(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Shawn Costello. Jewish and African American soldiers fighting on the Union side in the Civil War prepare a Passover seder with some help from farmers, a traveling man, and memories of previous celebrations. The invented dialogue is stilted, but the subject is intriguing and the heavily illustrated chapter book format makes it accessible to a young audience. An author's note provides historical context.
