A Journey To A Promised Land Which Flows With Milk and Honey

“This book shows different children with a parent that explain to them that they are something really special.” — Jill Harris

AJL Newsletter

“A delightful poem is the essence of this adorable board book about how much families love their little ones. With such lines as ‘You’re the kick in my hora, you’re the potato in my knish, You’re the lights on my menorah, and the star on which I wish,’ it flows like the old Cole Porter tune, ’You’re the Top.’ A variety of cultures are represented, and not all the wording is skewed toward Jewish themes. Each scene depicts one parent and his or her baby. The poem is universal and full of good feelings.” — Lisa Silverman, Library Director, Burton Sperber Jewish Community Library, Los Angeles, CA

BayViews

Kirkus Reviews

“This is a celebration of the love and joy that a baby brings to the world, just right for enjoying during a snuggle on a lap. Like a blintz, irresistible.” — Kirkus Reviews
