A children's picturebook anthology of classic Jewish tales

Barbara Goldin's Ten Holiday Jewish Children's Stories is a unique children's picturebook anthology of classic Jewish tales, each tied to a holiday. The first portion is devoted to the tales themselves; each story is presented on two pages, and concluded with some "Now Consider This" questions for young people to think over. The stories include the origin of Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Hanukkah, and more. After each story is a gorgeous, full-color, two-page painting by Jeffrey Allon illustrating the types of events and celebration associated with the tale. A highly recommended introduction to the wonders and festive events that comprise the rich tradition of Jewish holidays.
