Reviews

Publishers Weekly

“Cohen’s text expresses a joyous mood of appreciating wonders provided by God and being mindful of giving thanks for such gifts. Hall’s mixed-media compositions swirl with color and energy.”

School Library Journal's Extra Helping

“A lovely telling of the creation story from a Jewish viewpoint. . . Hall’s mixed-media illustrations brightly dance across the pages, moving the story along to the first Shabbat (Sabbath), concluding with a simple prayer.”
