It's a picture framed with lots and lots of pretty flowers. Two happy bears are getting married under the huge tent called the chuppa. The bride and groom make a good couple. I like the gentle expression on everyone's face. I wish I were there to celebrate their happiness.

Mazel Tov! Mazel Tov! These are the sounds at this Jewish wedding. The family is under the wedding canopy, the chuppa, giving their blessing. The groom gives his bride a romantic, loving kiss. The illustrator wants to show the relationship become final. This picture makes me feel joyous and glad to see a couple come together.
Elroy Huynh, Grade 6, Julia R. Masterman Laboratory and Demonstration School, Philadelphia
