Spring is on the way — flowers are blooming, snow is melting, and birds are singing. And if spring is on the way, so is Passover. The family hosting the seder participates enthusiastically in the preparations, from cleaning the house until it sparkles to preparing fragrant and traditional holiday foods. The table is set with the best dishes, the relatives arrive, and everyone is seated around the table. It is now officially Passover and the seder can begin.
Brightly colored folk art style illustrations complement the simple story while also conveying the joyful anticipation of the holiday. Recommended for ages 4 – 9.
