The Cleveland Jewish Book Festival is back for its 25th year! Join Sara Holly Ackerman for a kids’ day centered on her book, Challah For Shabbat!

This sweet, rhyming, beautifully illustrated picture book celebrates Jewish joy and intergenerational love as it follows a girl and her grandmother preparing for Shabbat dinner by baking traditional challah from scratch. Join us for a fun morning where we read stories, sing songs and bake challah.

Sara Holly Ackerman is a children’s book author and school librarian in Brooklyn, New York. She loves the smell of homemade challah filling her apartment, but the challah from the neighborhood bakeries tastes every bit as good. She is the author of Not Just the Driver! and the co-author of The Gabi that Girma Wore.
