Sophie and the Shofar — Fran Manushkin

Two cousins, Sophie and Sasha, play and work together until a missing shofar comes between them. This heartfelt story about two young children incorporates many High Holy Day themes, including blowing the shofar and attending synagogue. Bright, richly detailed illustrations capture the liveliness and real-life emotions of Sophie and Sasha as they learn about forgiveness, love, and say "I'm sorry" during Rosh HaShanah.
