Much, Much Better

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jessica Schiffman. In old Baghdad, Miriam and Schlomo are sad because they don't have a guest for Shabbat. When an old stranger arrives, they welcome him into their home for the sabbath meal. Although the couple never finds out, the man is the prophet Elijah in disguise, and he blesses them with a baby boy. The colorful framed paintings add playfulness to the tale.
