In this charming and humorous story, Miriam discovers-with the help of her family and a little matzah bread-the true meaning and importance of Passover. Miriam loves spending time with her family during Passover, and all week long she is happy to eat lots of matzah. But when she wakes up on the last day of the holiday, she is sick of matzah and refuses to eat it ever again. Then Grandpa makes his special matzah brei for the whole family, and Miriam learns there's more to Passover than just the matzah. Award-winning illustrator David Slonim brings to life this story by celebrated author Leslea Newman. The book includes a recipe for matzah brei, a brief summary of the Passover holiday, and a glossary of terms.
