In this cheerful, enjoyable poetry collection, a family decides to celebrate every Jewish holiday for a full year, the ones we know well, the ones we do not. Starting with new-year apples dipped in honey on Rosh Hashanah all the way to flowers and chocolates on Tu BAv (often called Jewish Valentines Day), readers can explore the joy and meaning of the various holidays along with this lively family of five. A brief explanation of the holiday accompanies each poem. By an award-winning and beloved childrens poet, this is a wonderful introduction to Jewish celebrations, observances, and days of remembrance.
