Illustrated by
Maria Monescillo.
A family's preparation for Shabbat is told through simple pairs of two-word sentences: "One house. Many rooms" (as the family cleans); "One car. Many people" (as visitors arrive). The repetitive, gentle text conveys the family members' love for one another--the day begins and ends with kisses--and the watercolor and digital illustrations bring out the warmth of celebration.
