Review/Giveaway: The Passover Surprise by Janet Ruth Heller



About the Book

Genre:  Children
Format:  E-ARC
Publisher:  Fictive Press
Release Date:  March 2015




Lisa and her younger brother, Jon, are excited to learn about their father’s hobby of stamp collecting. Their father makes it even more fun with a contest. Both children put all their energy into the contest, but find themselves faced with a huge dilemma. As the Passover holiday approaches, both children are more and more anxious about the contest.

To their surprise, they learn about their father’s and other Jewish soldiers’ experiences during World War II. It gives them a new perspective on life.

This book captures the true essence of family, combining holiday traditions with a bit of history as well. Readers are given a taste of Jewish life. It teaches values such as equality, religion, and speaking up if you have questions. It’s told in a way that’s not preachy. Instead, it’s a pure joy to read. It should be noted that this is a short book, only 48 pages but it’s a powerful 48 pages.

It’s the perfect book for children. It gives them an excellent education along with a fun read. It's quite timely with Passover about to begin.

  5. Now for the serious comment. As of this weekend my grandkid total rises to a total of 10. All the school age ones go to Yeshiva (like their parents did) so I'm sure they'd love the book.
