Tradition says that Jewish families welcome the Shabbat Queen into their homes on Friday nights. Rosie decides to create her own tradition by dressing as the Shabbat Princess. The story is slight but mildly informative. Double-page-spread illustrations are dominated by pinks, purples, and browns.

When his family moves to the suburbs, Noah misses the clatter of urban life. But at the family's Hanukkat Habayit (the dedication of a house as a Jewish home), Noah's old friends infuse the space with loving sound. Though the dialogue is stiffly expository, the cheerful mixed-media illustrations reflect the story's warmth. More information about mezuzot is appended.
