Genre: Children's Picture Book
Source: I received a digital copy from the author in exchange for my honest review.
The illustrations in the book will appeal to children everywhere. For me a Christian, who knew little about Jewish customs and religious beliefs it was an opportunity to learn more. Shabbat is a celebration of the Sabbath. It is a holy time. In the book four little monsters are all enjoying this day, when a fifth monster asks to join them. They refuse and ignore him. He reminds them what Shabbat is truly about. They reflect on this and decide to allow him to join them. This is a great way to teach children about other religious beliefs.
