The Passover Pet Surprise
LISTEN TO THE PODCAST | READ THE TRANSCRIPT | BUY THE BOOK
🕮 Argentine author Ana María Shua has written over 100 books and is super famous in Latin America but The Passover Pet Surprise is her first Jewish children's book. As you'd expect from such an accomplished writer, it's a well told, heartwarming story with a hint of ambiguity, which works well during a holiday where we are commanded both to retell and to inquire!
