Going to work backwards by saying that I loved the way the acknowledgements were done. Using Who Knows One is one of my favorites parts of the Passover seder and I just thought it was so creative. It fit perfectly with the way the book is laid out to follow the seder, each chapter starting with the name and description of different parts of it. Passover is my favorite holiday and I was so excited to hear about this book, it's few and far between that we get books about Jewish holidays other than Hanukkah. AJ Sass, Soifya Pasternack, and Laurel Snyder were the author's I was looking forward to most, having read their works already.
We get fourteen different outlooks on Passover and Judaism. Every character and their family has the same, if varied basis for a seder, but they all go about it a little differently. I think it does a great job showing that there's no one right way to celebrate Passover and there's no one right way to be Jewish.
Chocolate Tears lived up to its title for me. This Passover will be the first one without my grandfather and I can't even imagine how it's going to go, so this chapter got more than a few tears out out of me.
