BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
APPEALS TO: SEVERAL
Lizzie's mom makes brownies, and they take them over to her friend Joshua's family because their grandpa has just passed away. Joshua's family is having a sitting shiva where people come to offer the bereaved family comfort. Lizzie tries to cheer up her friend by offering him brownies and putting her arm around him. But what is the thing that works the best?
Something Sweet teaches readers about the Jewish custom of sitting shiva after a loved one passes away. Newman tenderly captures the feelings of grief, remembrance, and how to support a friend. Rich's illustrations are expressive, tender, and beautiful.
