Rosh Hashanah Square-Circle-Star!: Board Books to Celebrate the Jewish Holidays

Learning shapes is easy in this unique board book celebrating the holiday of Rosh Hashanah

From baking a circular challah to listening to the blast of a spiral shofar to folding triangular napkins for the dinner table, young readers will grasp the concept of shapes as they learn about the Jewish New Year!

With simple but clever rhyming text paired with stylish, appealing art, this is a perfect starter board book for children just beginning to learn core concepts—and it doubles as the ideal Rosh Hashanah gift.

The book also includes an age-appropriate explanation of Rosh Hashanah and the ways in which the holiday is celebrated.

Joy Nelkin Wieder is an author, artist, and educator. When she’s not creating books, she might be painting landscapes or training service dogs. Joy lives outside Boston with her husband and two cats.
