Mazel Tov! It's a Boy / Mazel Tov! It's a Girl

(4) PS Photographs by Jeff Finkelstein. A young girl and her observant Jewish family welcome the girl's new baby brother with a bris. Flip the book over, and the same girl and her family welcome a new baby sister with a brit bat. There's an unevenness in tone: the boy's text is slightly more positive and conveys a greater excitement. The warm photographs provide a good sense of both ceremonies.
