Egg Matza

At this age, children enjoy increasingly involved stories that may contain fantasy. While interested in magic and fantastical happenings, these youngsters are likely still drawn to realistic stories in which they encounter people, places, and events with which they can see connections to their own lives. An attraction to folktales and simple historical fiction often begins at this stage.

We are a family of book lovers and as a mother with a strong Jewish background and identity it is truly a joy to see my children so excited and enthusiastic about their heritage.
