A brisk, lively cumulative narrative highlights the joyous making
of the traditional Sabbath bread, made a little messy when two
energetic youngsters help their patient grandmother in the kitchen.
After introducing "the challah that Bubbe made," ingredients
such as water, sugar, salt, yeast, oil, eggs and flour are
introduced with each new line of the text, until it is time for a
baker's expertise. "These are the hands that squished the flour /
that thickened the oil / that softened the sugar / that sweetened
the eggs / that whipped the yeast / that frothed the water / that
went in the challah that Bubbe made." Cheery
watercolor-and-graphite drawings depict a modern and
youthful-looking grandmother simultaneously administering
instructions to a preschool-aged granddaughter and overseeing
spilled mishaps by a toddler-aged grandson. They bring out a visual
story that parallels the one described in the narrative,
culminating in a warm, family dinner. The traditional blessing is
