Not So Fast, Max - A Rosh Hashanah Visit with Grandma: A Rosh Hashanah Story of Family, Traditions, and the Sweetest Apples

By Annette Schottenfeld

Book Overview

When Max rushes to start making Rosh Hashanah treats, his grandma reminds him that sometimes the sweetest traditions take time--and love--to grow.

When Max and Emily's spunky grandma visits for Rosh Hashanah, she's got some surprises up her sleeve. Max just wants to hurry up and get started, but he learns that sometimes new traditions can be worth the wait.

With warm, expressive illustrations and a gentle narrative, Not So Fast, Max captures the spirit of Jewish New Year and the timeless bond between generations. Includes a glossary of Hebrew words, a kid-friendly caramel apple recipe, and Grandma Savta's delicious apple cake recipe to continue the celebration at home.
