(3) YA Illustrated by Zevi Blum. Abraham and Adam, clever twin brothers from Chelm, the town of fools, are the center of this story that begins with their birth and ends with a wedding. The narrative is split into forty-two short chapters threaded with mischief, grief, foolishness, and love. The delicate chapter-opener spot art and occasional larger illustrations are at once sophisticated and playful.
