Reviews

Tablet

“The art’s bold and cute, with a Pixar vibe, and I love the tiny Sephardic décor touches, like the framed hamsas on the wall.” — Marjorie Ingall, Tablet Magazine

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

“I think that this book would be helpful for Sephardic Jewish children because it shows how some Sephardic Jewish families celebrate Shabbat.” — Jill Harris

Kveller

“This beautiful new board book should be an indispensable part of any young Jewish child’s library.” — Lior Zaltzman, Kveller

AJL Newsletter

“With few words on each page, a modern Sephardic family prepares for and then celebrates Shabbat while introducing a variety of Ladino words. This is a fun and new concept for a board book. The illustrations are charming. All males are wearing kippot. The publisher notes that both author and illustrator are of Sephardic heritage.” — Lisa Silverman, Library Director, Burton Sperber Jewish Community Library, Los Angeles, CA

Kirkus Reviews

“What sets this book apart is the use of Ladino, a Spanish-derived language of the Jewish Diaspora not widely spoken worldwide. Families with a Sephardic background will particularly appreciate this book.”— Kirkus Reviews
