About Passover (Fri, Apr 19, 2019 – Sat, Apr 27, 2019)
“Passover is a week-long holiday,
celebrated in the spring, when the Jewish people remember the biblical exodus
from Egyptian slavery. It is ushered in with a Seder, a festive meal of
prayers, readings, songs, and the tasting of symbolic foods.”
Review:
Miriam Mouse and her family
are getting ready for Passover belowstairs just like the family abovestairs.
The only problem for Miriam is that her little mouse family had no matzah. She went
abovestairs and waited patiently for crumbs from Eli and his family. Miriam heard
footsteps and noticed the matzah being hidden under a bookshelf. She grabbed it
and is caught by Eli. What do you think will happen next?
This heartfelt story
represents Jewish culture and holiday with friendship and sharing. Young
readers will enjoy learning about Passover. Parents and teachers can share the
history and story behind this celebrated holiday. Colorful illustrations and
easy to read sentences will engage beginner readers in this story.
