(2) K-3 Illustrated by Anjan Sarkar. It's almost Hanukkah, and Sadie's bicultural family is preparing its traditional dosas. The story's narrator, Sadie's older brother, explains that his sister's habit of constantly climbing might be less than helpful to family members making dosas. But when the family gets locked out of the house, Sadie's climbing skills save the day. Vibrant illustrations and accessible text highlight Jewish and Indian cultures. Recipes appended.
