Reviews 

Young readers will identify with Katy's anticipation of a cherished family tradition and share her disappointment at having the plans cancelled. Soffer deftly shows Katy moving from frustration to the pleasure of celebrating with friends and family, including the new baby in the fun. Seeing members of the community pitch in to help Katy, and following along as she and her father cook might inspire readers to start a new Rosh Hashana tradition. Includes an applesauce recipe. Recommended for ages 3-7." -- Jewish Book World

Soffer's first children's book is an entertaining read that will delight young children who will share Katy's enthusiasm. McMahon's colorful, cartoon-like illustrations radiate high spirit and energy." -- American Jewish World

This is a simple story and on the face of it a slight one, but underneath, it's an extremely moving tale. (Picture book. 2-7)" -- Kirkus Reviews
