(3) K-3 Illustrated by Noa Kelner. “Shabbat is unique and beautiful for every person.” This picture book presents a spectrum of ways to spend the Jewish Sabbath, with inclusive representation in areas including skin tone, gender identity (a b’nai mitzvah ceremony for a nonbinary character), and types of observance, from avoiding the use of technology to playing guitar at services. The mixed-media illustrations are as warm and positive as the straightforward text. An author’s note and a glossary are appended.
