Review:
Jessica is practicing her
Hebrew so that she can ask questions during seder for Passover. Her grandfather
is the one who would answer her questions but is sick in the hospital. Jessica
worries about her grandpa because at every Passover celebration he reads the
haggadahs and hides the afikomen. Once home grandpa is still very weak. She
fluffs his pillows to make him more comfortable. Suddenly, Jessica has an idea
on just what can be done so that her grandpa can join the family for seder.
Jessica’s family spends the day getting ready. How do you think her grandpa
will participate?
Passover celebrates the
Jewish people’s exodus from Egyptian slavery. This gentle story features a
family and their traditions to celebrate this holiday. Parents and teachers can
educate readers about Jewish culture and religion. The colorful illustrations
are inviting to readers and basic sentence structure are great for beginner
readers.
