award-winning children's book for ages 3 to 8, Bubbe and Gram won a 1997

excellence in
independent publishing (given by the Publishers'

Bubbe and Gram relates the touching story of a child who loves and learns from her two very different grandmothers. Her Jewish Bubbe tells stories about Moses and the Maccabees, lights the Sabbath candles and shares Passover with her grandchild. Her Christian Gram dyes Easter eggs with her granddaughter, recites the Lord's Prayer and tells the Nativity story. Each grandmother shares the love and richness of her own tradition with her grandchild, while still respecting the other religious tradition that is part of the little girl's life. The story includes descriptions of Hanukkah and Christmas, Passover and Easter, and the sabbath preparations of both religious traditions.
Children will love being able to identify with the little girl as she explores the traditions and holidays of both Christianity and Judaism. Parents and grandparents will welcome the opportunity to share their diverse and valuable faith experiences with the children in their lives..
