Our Favorite Book

I originally found this in my local library 18 months ago. When we returned it after two weeks, my 2 year old kept asking me to read it again, so I bought a copy. We continue to read it often. It's a delightful story about Shabbat and family, and why it's all so special to a little boy. In addition to being a wonderful story, the illustrations are beautiful, and the typography is far better than most children's books. It looks like this book was an act of love for everyone who contributed to it.

What a Delight!

This is a wonderful story about a young boy who is going on his first fishing trip with his Papa, and is determined to catch himself "a gefilte fish". Absolutely charming and captivating story that you and your kids will want to read over and over again.
