Reviews
"The charming, colorful gouache illustrations perfectly complement the text and beautifully depict a warm and loving family. A fresh, new offering for libraries serving large Jewish populations."--School Library Journal
"The story's arc nicely folds in all the elements and practice of the weekly Shabbat celebration while maintaining a slightly understated air of amusing angst. In addition, the inclusion of the traditional Havdalah at sundown to bring the daylong observance to an end is effortlessly described, creating a complete picture for the weekly ritual. A pleasantly satisfying modern addition to the collection."--Kirkus Reviews
