Summer is here and these two sunny bunnies can’t wait to dig their toes into the sandiest spot in Carrot Cake Park where they can build a castle, fly a kite, and jump the waves. Big sister, who’s been here before, is eager to lead her younger brother through all the activities of their fun-filled day. This endearing rhyming tale, with its charming illustrations, captures their outing perfectly, from the moment they fling off their flip-flops until, home again, they say good night . . . almost.

Young readers get to explore the beach through the eyes of two sunny bunnies in this delightful story about a trip to the seashore. In Carrot Cake Park, a bunny named Susie can’t wait to show her brother Mark everything there is to see and do at the beach—including the waves, sand castles, kite-flying, and ice cream eating. Joined by friends and family members, the bunnies’ beach outing turns into a day full of fun, complete with a surprise at the end! This enjoyable rhyming tale introduces beach elements and activities to children with its lighthearted verse and cheery illustrations.

"A Notable Book for Younger Readers" —Association of Jewish LibrariesEight-year-old Mark has two wishes: To become a shofar blower—just like his High Holiday hero—and to make that photograph of his great-great-grandfather Avram disappear from the hallway in his new home. When the family gathers for Rosh Hashanah, though, Mark discovers that his own desire to blow the shofar is actually linked to a hope that the unsmiling man in the photograph once had. Avram’s Gift is a charming portrait of a family and how their lives—past and present—mingle to make Mark's wishes come true. (A delicious honey cake recipe is included!)
