Book Descriptions
for This is Our Seder by Ziporah Hildebrandt and Robin Roraback
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
Although there is a one-page note at the back containing some facts about the Passover Seder, the strength of Hildebrandt’s rests in its simplicity. Rather than answering questions for someone unfamiliar with Seder foods and customs, this modest book can serve as a visual summary for the youngest - before, during and after the Seder. (Ages 2-4)

From the Publisher
"This is our night for coming together," begins this simple and endearing poem about observing Passover. As a spirited extended family arrives and the meal begins, the important elements of the Seder are introduced: the Seder plate for teaching, the questions for asking, the story for telling, and at last the yummy meal for gobbling up!Robin Roraback's colourful pictures lend warmth, vivacity, and even some humor, as several generations joyfully observe a traditional Seder with their own unique touches. Notes on the history of Passover and Seder traditions are also included.
