Review quotes
Buen Shabat, Shabbat Shalom by Sarah Aroeste, illustrated by Ayesha L. Rubio, is apparently the first children's book ever published in both English and Ladino. Sephardic representation! Rhyming couplets show a family celebrating Shabbat: 'Time for blessings, las berahas./For wine and challah, we say grasias!' The art's bold and cute, with a Pixar vibe, and I love the tiny Sephardic décor touches, like the framed hamsas on the wall. Both the writer and illustrator are Sephardic: Aroeste's family roots are in Thessaloniki; Rubio grew up in Spain. — Marjorie Ingall, Tablet Magazine
