"Passover is a time of traditional observance, but this year could be different for a young girl.Jessica is busy practicing the four questions in Hebrew; it is tradition for the youngest child to ask the questions at a family Passover Seder. She is looking forward to joining her grandparents and cousins, and she especially loves that everything is the same from year to year. But things may be different this year. Grandpa has been in the hospital, and even though he has come home, he is not well. Will someone else read the entire Haggadah, the story of the Passover exodus? Who will hide the afikoman, the middle piece of matzo on the Seder table that the children search for and redeem for a gift? Jessica has the answers. Grandpa can stay in his bedroom with the door open and conduct the Seder, reclining on his pillows as is customary. The family works together to prepare the table, and the Seder begins with Grandpa and help from an uncle. Jessica happily finds the afikoman in a very special place. Those who celebrate Passover will find a story that resonates with tradition and family love. The colorful illustrations depict a white family drawn together at a special time. A girl finds wonderful answers to her Passover questions in this sympathetic tale that will resonate with many families."--Kirkus, "Jessica can't imagine Passover without her beloved grandfather, but this year he is in bed, recovering from a hospital stay and therefore unable to lead the family seder. This night is supposed to be different from all other nights, but this is the wrong kind of different, Jessica thinks. Then she sees her grandfather reclining on pillows in bed--just like he would be doing at the table. With the help of the whole family, Grandpa is still able to lead the seder, with some adjustments. And though he isn't the one to hide the afikomen, he remains joyfully right in the middle of all the action. With quiet, impressionistic illustrations, this is a warm tribute both to the holiday of Passover and to strong family bonds. It's also a gentle lesson in how to manage life's inevitable changes and challenges."--Jewish Book Council, "Jessica cant imagine Passover without her beloved grandfather, but this year he is in bed, recovering from a hospital stay and therefore unable to lead the family seder.

She loves the repetition of the yearly rituals, but this year her "heart hurts" because Grandpa was in the hospital recently and cannot leave his bed to lead the seder. She cleverly solves the problem of how Grandpa still can be included with the rest of the family and learns that when things change, they also can remain the same in many ways. The well-written and poignant tale provides us with a young person's view of the meaning of joyful Passover family traditions.", "'I cant imagine our seder without Grandpa at the table,' worries Jessica as her family travels to her grandparents house to celebrate Passover; her grandfather is just out of the hospital and confined to his bed. Leopold-Strauss (The Elijah Door) creates an intimate and highly believable portrait of the sorts of adjustments a family must make to beloved traditions as roles shift and its members age; tensions flare up now and again (one gets the sense that everyone in the family has an opinion on how best to care for Grandpa during his convalescence) but Jessicas quick thinking leads to some small modifications that lets Grandpa take part in the evenings rituals. Although Tugeaus (the Buddy Files series) illustrations can be a bit too rough and sketchlike at times, his forceful brushstrokes and hatching bring dramatic intensity to the scenes."--Publishers Weekly, "'I can't imagine our seder without Grandpa at the table,' worries Jessica as her family travels to her grandparents' house to celebrate Passover; her grandfather is just out of the hospital and confined to his bed.

But even those who haven't will appreciate the sentiments expressed and the lovely twist author Linda Leopold-Strauss has added in this heartwarming story I'm delighted to share. Grandpa is sick and has just come back home from the hospital. That means the Passover seder will be different this year and narrator Jessica wonders how that will change things, especially now that she's going to ask the Four Questions in Hebrew. And since she's finding it hard to imagine a seder without Grandpa, Jessica soon realizes it doesn't have to be that way. Grandpa may be nearby tucked in bed, and wearing pajamas, but how convenient that '... Grandpa's door opens to the dining room?' notes an enthused Jessica. When Grandpa questions his participation in such attire, Grandma remarks, 'Does God care if you're in your pajamas?' The plan is hatched and the seder will take place with most things remaining the same as always and just a few things different like Grandpa reclining in bed and cousin Mark 'getting to sip sweet wine instead of grape juice, since he has just had his bar mitzvah.' The joy of family and tradition in this story is wonderfully conveyed through Tugeau's muted illustrations. I love the varied perspectives he shares, especially the ones where we know it's Grandpa looking out on his family seated around the dining room table. Nothing says everyone must be in the same room for a seder so when Jessica comes up with the great idea to include Grandpa by leaving his bedroom door open, it's symbolic in so many meaningful ways. Leopold-Strauss has created a sweet and thoughtfully written seder story that will resonate with young readers for years to come."--Good Reads with Ronna, A young girl practices the Four Questions in Hebrew and travels, as usual, to her grandparents house for the seder with her extended family.

The well-written and poignant tale provides us with a young persons view of the meaning of joyful Passover family traditions., "This is a pleasant read by an authorwell versed in juvenile literaturewith a focus on the theme of theimportance of the family withinJewish folklore, especially during the celebration of the traditionalPassover seder (order)dinner. Inthis story, the family patriarch, thegrandfather, is juxtaposed to theyoungest member of the family,the granddaughter. As a matter oftraditional course, the youngestparticipant is expected to converse ina didactic exchange with the query'Why is this night different from allother nights?' The night of this sederis different because the grandfatheris ill and cannot sit at the head ofthe dinner table and lead the ritual ceremony. Nevertheless, with theassistance of other family members,the grandfather is still able to hidethe afikomen (Greek for 'I havecome') under his pillow, allowingthe granddaughter to complete theprocess of finding it and receiving areward. In the end, it is the familythat is rewarded for accomplishinga mitzvah (blessing) under some difficulty with the recognition of theimportance of togetherness."--Catholic Library World, "Any child who has ever celebrated a holiday when someone special couldnt attend will relate to A Different Kind of Passover.

    Item is as described shipped & arrived promptly. Tried to contact seller with feedback regarding the dust jacket & the damage sustained due to the way the book was packaged. Unfortunately the seller does not accept messages. The book was placed in a bag 1.5 times bigger than the book. As a result the book and dust jacket had a lot room to move in different directions. As a result, the dust jacket was pretty crushed. Aside from above, great seller, & good transaction.

    Book in good condition as described (the package was damaged in shipment and looks like someone cut it with a sharp blade. Only missing a piece off back corner and top corner of last 2 pages - not seller’s fault!) I am very pleased with my purchase - great price, smooth transaction, great communication and fast ship. Recommend this seller to all. Thank you!
