Passover!

illustrated by Erin Eitter Kono. Little, Brown. Ages 3-6.

Join little Moe and his family as they celebrate Passover. Together, they clean the house, prepare the Seder dinner, hunt for the hidden matzoh, and read the story of Passover. National Jewish Book Award-winning author Roni Schotter’s sweet, simple text is paired with Erin Eitter Kono’s warm and inviting illustrations making this a Passover celebration to cherish.

“A rhyming text describes a family’s celebration of this Jewish holiday. Large, cheerful cartoon illustrations, in gouache and acrylic over a digital collage, colorfully depict a contemporary family. An author’s note provides further details about observances. Accessible to those unfamiliar with the holiday . . . it will be most welcomed in libraries served by Jewish populations.” School Library Journal

“In a rhyming text, Schotter describes the joys, activities, food, and other items that make this Jewish holiday. . . Since the story has a bit of humor relating to the matzoh hunt, the style is a good fit. For a challenge readers are asked to find the pictured items from the special Passover celebration within the illustration in the book.” Children’s Literature

“Roni Schotter has written an important children’s book that will entertain but also explain the Jewish holiday of Passover. Passover! is a book to share with your children before Passover begins. The illustrations are inviting. They make you want to pull up a chair and share the Seder with Moe and his family. This is a book both children and adults, Jewish and not, will enjoy and learn from.” Andrea Sisco, Armchair Interviews
