We all know how I love clever wordplay! Well, tomorrow night marks the start of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. It's the most solemn and arguably the most important day of the Jewish Year, when we fast, reflect upon the last year and mistakes we've made or people we've hurt, and ask forgiveness to begin anew for the year to come. "Talia and the Very YUM Kippur" (2015) is a fabulous book for explaining this day to kids. Author Linda Elovitz Marshall takes a key misunderstanding--that of the difference between break[ing]-fast and breakfast--and plays with it, as young Talia helps her grandmother prepare for the holiday, and slowly learns that joy is not only about celebration, but also about meaningful reconnection with those we love. A gentle, lovely introduction for ANY child, with adorable pictures by Francesca Assirelli, to an important Jewish holy day. ⚫ ⚫ #noodlenutskidsbooks #bookstagraminthe6ix #LokshenNuts #JewishNoodlenuts #TaliaandTheVeryYumKippur #lindaelovitzmarshall #francescaassirelli #karben #karbenpublishing #yomtov #yomkippur #breakingthefast #gmarchatimatova #highholidays #jewishhighholidays #jewishholidays #jewishkids #jewishchildren #jewishbooks #jewishpicturebooks #jewishkidsbooks #jewishchildrensbooks #intergenerational #intergenerationalstories #grandparentsandgrandkids #diversebooksforkids #weneeddiversebooks #ReadWithRiver_food https://www.instagram.com/p/B3VNvlLnAPS/?igshid=uqsew8mfve8e
