Review:
Shoshana loved to paint.
She would do this with Grandma Jacobs whom she fondly referred to as Grandma J.
Her Grandma had an art studio. Shoshana explored and discovered sprouting paint
brushes, colorful masks, easels canvases and oil paints. Their shared project
for the day was to make a cut paper art to celebrate Shavuot, which is the
spring harvest. Shoshana’s paper cut outs weren’t as good as Grandma J’s. But
her Grandma asked her to look a little closer and what do you think Shoshana
discovered?
