I really enjoyed this children's book about Passover traditions in Gondar, Ethiopia. Beautiful illustrations and I learned a lot in a short time. This book will be interesting for children and adults who want to know more about Ethiopian Jews and their culture. The traditions with breaking and remaking pottery reminded me of the Japanese art of kintsugi.

This was a delightful and inspiring tale that introduces young readers to the captivating world of one of history's most fascinating figures, Harry Houdini. As a seven-year-old boy, Harry dreams of doing something extraordinary, and a visit to the circus sparks his ambition to walk the tightrope. "Harry and the High Wire" it's a captivating story; it's a wonderful blend of entertainment and education, making it an essential read for young minds eager to discover the magic of ambition and self belief.

'I find this book very relaxing. Printed in text and Braille, it features a blind boy and his family enjoying a peaceful Shabbat, attending services, picnicking on the beach, taking naps. The sensory language, soothing repetition, and sunny illustrations are a winning combination.’

"With upbeat text perfectly complemented by a cheerful palette and childlike illustrations, A Beautiful World takes us through the creation story. A nameless narrator - apparently Hashem - begins with a black page and adds light and color, water and land, plants and animals, and so on, until the world is almost complete. What is missing? Why, you, the reader! Just as Hashem invites us to be partners in creation, the narrator invites the reader to be a partner in enjoying the world - and reading this book! The final page has a mirror on it so the child reader can see herself. Young children love seeing themselves in the mirror, so that would certainly add to the fun! A Beautiful World is sure to be a favorite of young children - and their parents.”
