Pretty darn cute. I love the idea of teaching the different seasons in different hemispheres by comparing how kids celebrate the same holiday.

Points deducted for not having a glossary. Not everyone knows Hebrew nor Maori nor some of the food mentioned that is eaten in New Zealand.

Still, industrious parents and/or kids will look up the information if needed.

The characters are sweet and the rivalry is fun. I like this book a lot!

Not my favorite art, but charming story that both is distinctly about Jewish customs and has a broader message.

Ich habe es durch ein Video " gelesen", indem die Autorin das Buch vorliest. Einfach schön.
