Book Guide

Miriam loves spending time with her family during Passover, and all week long she is happy to eat lots of matzah, matzah, matzah! When she wakes up on the last day of the holiday, however, she is sick, sick, sick of matzah and refuses to eat it ever again. But then Grandpa makes his special matzah brei for the whole family, and Miriam learns that there's much more to Passover than just the matzah.

Award-winning illustrator David Slonim brings to life this sweet and charming story by celebrated author Leslea Newman. Including a recipe for matzah brei, a brief summary of the Passover holiday, and a glossary of terms, this picture book will help readers understand the true meaning and importance of Passover.
