Celebrate Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, in this delightful story.
The days were growing shorter. The air was getting cooler.
It was autumn.
And for Ellie, the best thing about autumn was Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year.
Join Ellie and her family as they prepare to spend the Jewish new year with their loved ones, baking challah and honey cakes. But Ellie is not looking forward to seeing her bossy cousin Lara, who borrowed her paints and never gave them back. Can Lara find it in her heart to forgive her cousin and be friends again? A heartwarming story of forgiveness and new beginnings set, fittingly, during a festival of fresh starts.
In this heartwarming picture book, young readers will learn the recipe for their very own challah bread and a guife to crafting a Happy New Year card. With words from award-winning author and poet Mara Bergman and charming, stylish art by Aura Lewis, this is the perfect gift to celebrate Rosh Hashanah.
Also available in the CELEBRATE & MAKE series:
One Diwali Day
A Golden EId
Welcoming the Lunar New Year
