Happy Perfect Picture Book Friday, dear friends! Today’s featured book deals with a tough topic, the loss of a beloved grandparent. The words and illustrations captured my heart…and I think that the message of the story will comfort many children.
Usually when there is a birthday, we celebrate with cake…but today, for this book birthday, we will share some yummy…CHALLAH! Challah is probably one of the most delicious breads in the world – and if you haven’t had French Toast made with challah bread, you are missing something quite glorious! When my kids were in elementary school, I made challah wreaths for the teachers as Christmas gifts…they looked so pretty – and tasted even better!
But, enough about my challah experiences…it’s time to sing Happy Book Birthday to CHALLAH DAY! a brilliant rhyming read-aloud written by Charlotte Offsay and illustrated by the talented Jason Kirschner.
TA-DA! What an honor to reveal the cover of a lovely book that is close to my heart. My late husband LOVED fishing…and he took our children…and grandchildren, just like the characters in Candace Spizzirri’s new book: FISHING WITH GRANDPA AND SKYE.
