(3) K-3 Illustrated by Sophia Vincent Guy. A young first-person narrator describes the steps of making challah with Ima (mother) and preparing for and enjoying Shabbat. The gentle text provides a welcome positive portrayal of the weekly family ritual of the Jewish day of rest. The soft palette of the mixed-media illustrations shifts gradually from pale purples to moonlit blues, creating a sense of Shabbat descending. An author’s note, challah recipe (of course!), and glossary of the Hebrew terms used throughout are appended.
