Aprašymas

A shofar story for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur for readers ages 7-11, AVRAM'S GIFT is an endearing tale about discovering one's roots and making dreams come true. Award-winning illustrator Laurie McGaw brings the story to life with appealing and realistic images throughout the book.

Eight-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  wishes come true.

Directions for blowing a shofar and a recipe for honey cake are included.
