(3) K-3 Illustrated by Andre Ceolin. Jacob is devoted to his Little League team--and also to his family's practice of Judaism. When the championship game lands on Yom Kippur, Jacob is torn between whether to play ball or observe the solemn holiday. Although he does make the expected choice (synagogue), his decision-making is believably complex. Cheery illustrations show the various diverse and dynamic "teams" to which Jacob belongs.
