Why read it?
1 author picked The Matzah Ball Fairy as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
When lighter-than-air matzah balls send Passover guests floating on the ceiling, a remedy is needed to bring them down. The authorās solution is brilliant and hilarious for anyone who has experienced cooking mishaps. There are so many Passover books that dwell on the story of the Jewish peopleās escape from tyranny in Egypt and this is undoubtedly an important story to tell. But thereās also a need for holiday books that are just plain fun. This is definitely one of those.Ā
From Gloria's list on lighthearted picture books with Jewish characters.
