Mazel Toes!
Colorful illustrations with an eye for thoughtful details depict a legacy of love in this picture book that tracks a Jewish family through the generations as each welcomes a new baby. Chock full of Yiddish words and phrases (with a glossary in the back), the rhyming lines follow the family through generations as they experience hardship, prosperity, and change. An affirming variety of races, sexual orientations, body types, and family sizes are depicted, showing how love is the same despite differences.
