A joyful illustrated story that celebrates the tradition of a Jewish mother making challah with her child – and includes the author's favorite recipe.

Ideal for children who love baking, this poetic and reflective narrative is paired with illustrations full of light and warmth, capturing the experience of a Jewish family as they make challah – a lesson in patience, slowing down, faith, and family.

A mother and her child measure, mix, knead, shape, and tuck their dough under a cloth like a sleeping baby. Then, as they do every week, they wait as their dough rises, soon to be baked and happily shared at a Shabbat gathering with loved ones.

Includes her own challah recipe, a glossary of terms, and an author's note describing the personal significance of her family's weekly ritual.
