Mazal Bueno!
It’s the moment when a baby grins its first grin and laughs its first laugh, when baby first tries to stand and says their first word. It’s the moment for parents to cheer, clap, and hug. Mazal bueno! Go, baby go! This book features Ladino words, the language of the Sephardic Jewish community, the second Ladino book by the author of Buen Shabat, Shabbat Shalom.
