Eli and his family are getting ready for the Passover seder, but in the floorboards below, Miriam Mouse is sad because she hasn’t been able to forage any matzah for her family. Maybe when Eli’s father goes to hide the matzah it will be her chance, but can she and Eli share?

For children accustomed to the traditions around seder, this is a cute twist on the holiday.  For children unfamiliar with seder, it is a simple introduction to part of the tradition.
