Auntie Sanyu builds a sukkah in her Ugandan garden. Curious wildlife - the Warthog, the Lion, the Giraffe, the Elephant, and other animals - come to celebrate the Sukkot holiday. They all want to shake the lulav and smell the etrog, but will selfish Warthog learn to share?

Critic Reviews
"The tale takes place in Uganda, and the principal characters are Auntie Sanyu and the warthog. Auntie Sanyu builds a sukkah and then invites the animals to share in the festivities. Just like the holiday itself, the story lasts for eight days, during which the rhino, camel, parrot, lion and others come to visit. However, the warthog, who is fascinated with the etrog, refuses to share it. The animals try many tactics to get him to cooperate; it’s the last guest, Sara, who solves the problem. Small children will love...the book’s lilting poetry. The issue of selfishness, and the chaos it can create, can easily be discussed with young readers or listeners. A glossary and information about the Abayudayas, a Ugandan Jewish community, is included. Recommended for children ages 4 to 8." (Jewish Book Council)
