Diana Mayo.
In singsong rhyming text, a first-person narrator reflects on a sibling argument during Rosh Hashanah services. At Tashlich, the ritual of throwing breadcrumbs or other material into the water to represent sins, the narrator delivers a heartfelt apology. A welcome depiction of Rosh Hashanah rituals and their meaning. Illustrations in pink and pastel tones make the characters’ emotions evident. Back matter includes a glossary and expands on both Tashlich and apologies.
