So besides the holiday itself, the overarching theme of many of the Passover books I've been sharing this year is "change". It's certainly a huge theme of the holiday itself, and it's particularly timely this year, as nothing is quite like it usually is, especially holiday celebrations. For many of us, one of the hardest things about Passover this year will be not celebrating with extended family, like grandparents. In Linda Leopold-Strauss's "A Different Kind of Passover" (2017), illustrated by Jeremy Tugeau, a family faces a significant change to how they usually celebrate the seder as well. Jessica's family has always had the seder, the ritual Passover meal, at her grandparents' house, and her grandfather has always sat at the head of the table and led the evening's proceedings, through prayers, songs, stories and more. But now her grandad is just out of the hospital and confined to bed. He is grumpy, Jessica is worried ... how will they ever make the holiday special? This is a wonderful story about getting creative, trying new approaches to things, and remembering not to give up when things seem daunting. This year's seders may bring new ways for us all to do things, from teleconferencing with family to singing on balconies with neighbours, but we should be grateful for our health and safety, and the opportunity to get creative! ⚫ ⚫ ⚫ #noodlenutskidsbooks #JewishNoodlenuts #noodlenutspassover #adifferentkindofpassover #lindaleopoldstrauss #jeremytugeau #passoverseder #passover2020 #pesachiscoming #jewishbooks #jewishkidsbooks #intergenerational #grandfather #granddaughter #jewishholiday #learnsomethingnew #readtoyourchildren #westayhome #readaloudrevival #booksbooksbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/B-fd6GAnHb4/?igshid=ph4e7cjdnee3
