About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is curious about the 'whys' behind family traditions or when they are navigating the tricky process of owning up to mistakes. This lyrical story follows a young girl through the High Holy Days, offering a gentle bridge between ancient customs and a child's everyday world. It moves beyond just listing facts, instead focusing on the emotional weight of starting fresh and the warmth of family gathering. Parents will appreciate how the book handles the concept of 'Teshuva' or repentance with grace rather than shame. It is an excellent choice for families looking to instill values of reflection, forgiveness, and intentionality. While it is rooted in Jewish tradition, the message of taking a deep breath and trying to be a better version of oneself is a universal life lesson perfect for children ages 4 to 8.
