A mul­ti­cul­tur­al addi­tion to the Passover pic­ture book canon, this sweet sto­ry explores the mean­ing of free­dom for the Jew­ish peo­ple — and their pets! This Passover, Jordanita’s fam­i­ly is leav­ing their Mia­mi apart­ment and fly­ing to Argenti­na to spend the hol­i­day with their cousin. Vis­it­ing their cousin is the best, since he not only has a giant yard — he also has two dogs, a cat, two tur­tles, and two par­rots called Tic and Toc! But when Jor­dani­ta hears the Passover sto­ry this year, she can’t help but notice that Tic and Toc are in a cage. If the point of Passover is to cel­e­brate free­dom, shouldn’t that apply to all crea­tures? Cel­e­brat­ed Jew­ish Argen­tine author Ana María Shua explores the nature of free­dom and the love of fam­i­ly in this warm-heart­ed tale, per­fect­ly paired with the gen­tle humor of Span­ish illus­tra­tor Ange­les Ruiz’s live­ly illustrations.
