On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with Sara Holly Ackerman and Alona Millgram about their newest picture book: Challah for Shabbat Tonight.This beautiful picture book celebrates Jewish joy and intergenerational love as it follows a girl and her grandmother preparing for Shabbat dinner by baking traditional challah from scratch. We talk about the book and Sara’s inspiration behind it, how Alona brought the beautiful story to life and the underlying universal themes of food, family and love. You’ll find the show notes for the episode with links to all of the books and resources mentioned right here: https://www.alitlife.com/2024/12/23/celebrating-family-food-challah-for-shabbat-tonight-with-sara-holly-ackerman-and-alona-millgram/Join me inside my Facebook community for bookish people!
