Description
A quiet, joyful story celebrating a Jewish mothers tradition of making challah with her child merges a lyrical text with stunning illustrations - and includes the authors favorite recipe. Melt into the nooks and crannies of this books unhurried pages, offering a place to rest and spend time counting your many blessings - current and imminent. Here, a child and a mother measure, mix, knead, shape, and tuck their dough under a towel like a sleeping baby. Then, as they do every week, they wait while their dough rises, soon to be baked and gratefully shared at a Shabbat gathering with loved ones. Sidura Ludwigs poetic narration captures the experience of a Jewish family as they make challah - a lesson in patience, slowing down, faith, and family. Illustrator Sophia Vincent Guy brings light and warmth to the scene, from a sun-bleached, gossamer curtain to the rising steam from the bread, all rendered in delicate, decorative patterns. Whatever their background, readers will be happy to find the authors go-to recipe for challah at the end, along with a glossary and an authors note describing the personal meaning of her familys weekly ritual.
