Description

Crack the eggs. Hear the sound?

Make this braided challah round.

Rosh Hashanah is coming.

This sweet board book celebrates the Jewish New Year, and is the fourth in Tracy Newman's Jewish holiday series. As Kirkus said of Shabbat is Coming!, a previous book in this series, ". . . the bouncy verse and Garofoli's richly colored, slightly three-dimensional cartoons against canvas-textured background provide a compelling introduction to the weekly celebration."

Publishers Weekly

This fourth holiday collaboration between Newman and Garofoli (previous books include Shabbat Is Coming! and Hanukkah Is Coming!) delivers a tender sensory introduction to the Jewish New Year. In rhymes with a repeating structure, Newman gently highlights the sounds, sights, and tastes that signal the holiday's imminence ("Golden leaves fall./ Hear the geese call./ Rosh Hashanah is coming"), as well as customs like playing the shofar ("Blow out--not too fast!/ 'Tekiyah!' we'll blast./ Rosh Hashanah is coming"). As in the previous books, Garofoli's crisp-edged, canvas-textured artwork creates an inviting domestic backdrop for the festivities, while leaving the door open for adults to discuss the holiday in greater detail as they read. Ages 1-4. (Aug.)
