The adventures of a thumb-sized Jewish boy who joins the circus by mistake and celebrates Hanukkah with his circus friends. Sadie Rose Weilerstein (July 28, 1894 - June 23, 1993) was an author of children's literature. Her works include What the Moon Brought and a series of stories featuring K'Tonton, a Jewish Tom Thumb. Rose Weilerstein was a Zionist, advocating for a Jewish homeland, and an environmentalist. Weilerstein's mother delivered samples of her writing to the publisher Bloch. Her first book, What Danny Did (1928) was published six months later to good reviews. In 1930, she published the first in a series of stories about K'tonton in the Jewish magazine Outlook. The stories are about a boy the size of a thumb who has adventures revolving around the Jewish holidays and culture. The K'Tonton stories "exemplified both Conservative Jewish and broadly humanistic values." In 1930, the stories were collected into a book, The Adventures of K'tonton, illustrated by Jeannette Berkowitz. Selected K'tonton stories were republished in a 50th anniversary collection called The Best of K'tonton in 1980 with new illustrations by Marilyn Hirsh. Marilyn Hirsh graduated from the Carnegie Mellon Institute with a degree in fine art in 1965 and joined the Peace Corps that year, serving in India, where she taught English and art and illustrated four children's books for the Children's Book Trust in New Delhi. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s she wrote and illustrated a variety of children's books, often drawing on her Jewish heritage and researching different eras to depict them accurately, from the ancient world of Tower of Babel to the crusader-era Spain of Butchers and Bakers, Rabbis and Kings and the Hellenistic Hanukkah Story. But she was best known for her collaboration with writer Sadie Rose Weilerstein on the K'tonton books, following a Jewish Tom Thumb character through various adventures. In 1980, she won the Association of Jewish Libraries' prestigious Sydney Taylor Body-of-Work Award. About the story: The tent of the World's Wonders, to which K'tonton was taken, was on the midway. This was a part of the circus that people visited before and after the performance. It was like a carnival. K'tonton was carried past food stands, a souvenir booth, and a small zoo to a tent called a sideshow. Here he was put on exhibition between the Fat Lady and the Human Skeleton. The Wild Man of Borneo and the Sword Swallower were also in the tent. Outside, the barker shouted "This way folks! Only two dimes and a nickel to see the World's Wonders, including Ktonton, the smallest person on earth. He's four inches tall. That's right, just ten centimeters from head to toe! Lillibelle wondered about K'tonton. Did he have a family? Did he have a brother like Tom Thumb or a little sister like Thumbelina? Had he been born in some strange way, like the tiny Beachstone Boy of Japan, who came out of a peach? Lillibelle was too polite to ask K'tonton these personal questions, but she was glad to answer his. With so much to see and learn and wonder about, there were days when K'tonton hardly missed his father and mother--except at mealtime. That was because he was careful not to eat any food that wasn't kosher. Every time he sat down to a meal he remembered his own home, where he could eat everything.
