Beautiful

I love all the books in this series. We have and have given all of them - On Passover, On Shabbat, etc. They're the best children's books about the holidays I've ever seen.

A charming overview of Passover traditions

There is a cozy, warm feel to this book, not least because of the beautifully colored illustrations. They show a young girl as she is encouraged by her family to experience Passover through her senses--How does Passover smell, taste, sound, etc. This interaction between the girl and several generations of her family lends a wonderful element of shared traditions. All of these aspects of the story blend to become a book to which a wide variety of people can relate, without regard to their religious background.
