Publisher Description
Ruby creates apple recipes for the Jewish New Year.
Ruby and her family go apple picking before Rosh Hashanah but they end up with more apples than they need for the holiday. So Ruby and her cousins come up with new apple recipes for the Jewish New Year. Will the apple dishes they make become family favorites?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Buoyed by gentle humor, this first slice-of-life installment of the Ruby Celebrates! series opens with the eponymous protagonist and her cousins picking far too many apples to solely dip in honey or to bake a single apple cake. In the Ivanovs' straightforward, animation-style art, the kids, portrayed with varied skin tones, present a solution: they enlist two adults as sous chefs, create their own recipes, present themselves as "Chef Appleman," "Chef Applestein," and "Chef Appleberg"—hosts of "Cooking with the Cousins"—and whip up apple pancakes, pizza, and lasagna. After Rosh Hashanah services ("They pray, sing, and listen to the shofar," Gehl writes) and a festive meal, the prospect of more apple-eating is too much: they gift a pretty basketful to a grateful neighbor and let family dog Boaz finish off the rest. Recipes and a holiday overview conclude. Ages 4–8.
