Shalom Bayit means 'peace in the home' in Hebrew. Whether your home is small or grand, on a lily pad, in roots or sand it should be a peaceful place.  A mouse’s home allows him to go in and out with ease while a worm lives safely underground.  “In trees, on leaves or nesting mound, on land, in lakes or underground… a home’s a cozy restful place, a safe and loving family space.” No matter where you rest your head at night, may there be peace in your home. 

Marshall and Jatkowska bring us a heartwarming and delightful board book exploring various homes from critters that live in tress to critters that live underground.  The illustrations are fun and bright.  The wording is simple to understand.  Snuggling with Shalom Bayit can spark a discussion about animals, habitat, love, and peace.
