During their Shabbat walk in the park, Jodie and her dog Digger find the perfect birthday present for her archaeologist father.
Review:
I absolutely loved this book, which is much-needed, as resources for Jewish children can be difficult to find. The story is engaging and teaches about how wine was made and archaeology. There is also additional information about the true story upon which the book was based, allowing parents an additional talking point with their children. The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous and engaging for little eyes. There is just the right amount of detail, allowing plenty to look at without being too busy or distracting. A wonder book I highly recommend to those who practice Judaism or those who wish to teach their children about it and the Old Testament.

A very hungry wolf eats the sky, plunging the whole world into darkness, but a brave boy and a menagerie of animals are determined to bring back the light. Includes author's note on how the story was developed with her three-year-old daughter, Anna, then illustrated by Anna's grandfather.
Review:
Three generations of a family created “The Wolf Who Ate the Sky”, and what a wonderful creation it is! The story is engaging and the illustrations are absolutely amazing. Little ones will be asking to read it again and again, and those of all ages will enjoy the beauty. Highly recommended!
