Review:

Rosh Hashanah is just around the corner. When Max and Emily’s grandmother comes to visit they are excited and Max is in a hurry to get started making caramel apples. Grandma has planned an adventure to pick apples, but Max is impatient during the long drive to the orchard. Picking the apples takes time and care, again Max is impatient. When Grandma tells the children of her family traditions when she was a child do you think Max will realize that patience is required when starting new traditions? 

Parents and teachers will love sharing this story of family and traditions in Jewish culture. This book can also be used as a tool to teach patience and mindfulness. Colorful illustrations depict the characters as a family.
