Challah Day is a very fun day for the whole family. Mom, Dad, sister and even the baby can help make the traditional family recipe. Everyone is eagerly awaiting the bread to come out of the oven. The family even invites their grandparents over to enjoy. 

This fun story walks you through the steps of making Challah bread and the importance of this Jewish tradition. There is even a real Challah bread recipe at the end of the book if you want to try to make it yourself. My daughter and I enjoyed this book. The illustrations were cute and went with the story well. This would be a fun book to use to teach about different cultures and traditions. This book explained the Jewish tradition of Challah bread.
