AJL Newsletter
“Young children, especially those who have just experienced a move will relate to this book and might find comfort from it. Janice Fried’s pleasing mixed media (water color, colored pencils, collage, pen and ink, and a scratching technique), softly colored pictures illustrate the text and greatly enhance it.” —AJL Newsletter

“Along with Noah, youngsters will learn all about the mezuzah, and how it helped turn a house…into a home….A warm, charming story, with very appealing, wonderfully detailed illustrations.”
Kirkus Reviews
“[A] sweet and gentle…informative story that effectively brings closure to one little boy’s concerns.”
School Library Journal
“This gentle tale is both comforting and effective as an explanation of the mezuzah. Noah’s emotional arc rings true, and information is smoothly woven into the narrative. The art is warm, welcoming, and interesting with its combination of watercolor, collage, pen and ink, and a scratching technique.” —School Library Journal
