This is a really sweet gem of a picturebook. I'm posting a review because I noticed a few low-star reviews from non-Jewish readers, with the critique that non-Jewish kids won't really understand the book. While I certainly applaud these reviewers for wanting to educate their children about different cultures, I think it's important to recognize that this book is typically intended for *Jewish* children. As a Jewish child, you don't see yourself as an Other, and it's extremely important that you have books that are *from* your perspective, rather than *about* it. Yes, there is obviously enormous value in representation within mainstream culture, but self-representation is equally necessary.
