Overview / 简介: |
Selma and her little sister, Dora, don't know how they'll make it through their first Chanukah without their mother, who died a few months earlier. Papa brings home the ingredients for latkes and the family carefully follows Mama's recipe, but they turn out all wrong. When Selma breaks down and weeps, they all have a "Skolnick family hug." Papa tries hard to remain upbeat for his daughters, and everyone resumes the holiday traditions. Vibrant full-color acrylic paintings accompany the text. |
From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
Kindergarten-Grade 2–This is the first Chanukah since Selma's mother died, and she and her younger sister carefully follow all of Mama's traditions as they polish the menorah and tell Papa exactly how the latkes should be made. When they turn out fat, brown, and lumpy instead of light and crisp, Selma can't be brave anymore and begins to cry. After a comforting "Skolnick family hug," Papa and the girls continue their evening with candle-lighting and prayers. The poignant text with touches of humor is nicely matched with warm and richly colored oil paintings. Papa is an especially appealing character; his efforts to be jolly don't keep him from offering heartfelt comfort and love to his daughters when they need it. A touching and uplifting story. |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
I read *Papa's Latkes* and found myself crying. It's a beautiful book that reads wonderfully aloud. The images are shining and transcendent. The emotions are strong and true. For anyone who has suffered the loss of a parent, it's a book to wrap around you and take comfort from. *Papa's Latkes* is filled with the hope of days when grief lessens and the strength of family. |
