Critics Review
Drawing connections between kitchen chemistry, timeless traditions, and the pleasures of everyday life, Ludwig, making a picture book debut, establishes a subtly enthralling, adagio-like rhythm aptly punctuated with the word rising. * Publishers Weekly (starred review) *
A meditative look at Shabbat preparations… . Carefully laying out each step of the baking process, from mixing ingredients to braiding the loaves, the book evokes Shabbat itself, conveying the beauty of taking time to rest and appreciate loved ones… . Intertwining the tactile rituals of baking with the religious and cultural heft of Shabbat, a contemplative paean to challah. * Kirkus Reviews *
This gentle, poetic picture book depicts a child and mother making challah for Shabbat… . Lovely. * Book Riot *
A beautiful and meditative book about the act of making and consuming challah. Poetic and charming and as calming as kneading dough. * Kveller *
