The family is getting ready for Shabbat and there is much to be done before the candles are lit! Everyone has tasks (even the dog!) and some things go awry but turn out well. When it's almost time, a little parade is organized, and EVERYONE gets to pray and enjoy their special meal.
At the end there is an explanation page of examples of what a Mitzvah means to Jews.
The illustrations by Menahem Halberstadt are fun, complex, colorful, and delightful.
Well suited for reading WITH someone of any age including ESL, and great for gifting to anyone, but especially to a school or your local public library!
I requested and received a free temporary e-book on Adobe Digital Editions from Charlesbridge via NetGalley. Thank you! (
