About This Book
Reach for this book when you want to introduce your child to the joyful, rhythmic chaos of a family holiday or when you are preparing for a first Passover Seder. It is a perfect choice for parents looking to build excitement around tradition through repetition and play rather than formal instruction. The story uses a familiar cumulative rhyme to walk children through the elements of the Seder, from the matzah and the wine to the singing and the inevitable sleepiness that follows a long, happy night. Through oil-paint illustrations, it captures the warmth of a multigenerational home and the sense of belonging that comes with shared heritage. It is particularly effective for children aged 3 to 8 who are learning about Jewish customs or who simply love high energy, musical storytelling that celebrates family togetherness.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is religious in nature but focuses on the celebratory and domestic aspects of the holiday rather than heavy theological or historical trauma.
Ideal Reader
A preschooler or early elementary student who is about to attend their first long holiday dinner and needs to see that while there are many steps and rules, the core of the experience is fun and love.
