The Way Meat Loves Salt: A Cinderella Tale from the Jewish Tradition

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Louise August. Mireleh, the youngest of three daughters, is dismissed by her father when she declares she loves him "the way meat loves salt." The homey quality suggested in the title is rendered in the energetic peasant-like feel of the linocuts. Both the writing and art contribute to the abundant good spirit, captured in a final Mazel Tov!, the musical score for which is provided at the end.
