Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the feeling of being an outsider or when you want to introduce the concept of family heritage through a lens of humor and play. It is a perfect choice for children who are navigating a big life change, like a move or starting a new school, and need to see that even 'scary' demons feel nervous and out of place in a new environment. This charming tale follows a group of mischievous demons from the legendary Jewish town of Chelm as they accidentally immigrate to modern-day New York City. Through their silly misunderstandings and failed attempts at mischief, the story explores themes of cultural identity, the immigrant experience, and the universal desire to belong. It is best suited for children ages 5 to 9 who enjoy folklore and fish out of water comedies.
