It is exactly what it sounds: a heartwarming story about a young boy who organizes a birthday party for the world, with the help of the local baker, a grandfather rabbi despite his older sister’s objections. The 20 (unnumbered) pages can be read aloud in 20 minutes, including showing the pictures and asking the young audience about their own memories and wishes for birthdays. I recommend reading it to your own little ones.

Daniel is determined to have a birthday party for the world to celebrate Rosh Hashanah. ( )
