Adorable
Charming book that celebrates both Jewish holidays and being the littlest in a group. Hannah Levine is having a hard time. Everybody has jobs to do in preparation for many of the holiday celebrations. Poor Hannah is relegated to the minimum amount of work, because she is the littlest.On Sukkot, she needs her dad to help her hang the pretty paper chains. When they light the Channuka menorah, grandma must guide her hand. With every chore, she is reminded that she has limitations and resents her position in the family. However, her grandfather assures her that there is a benefit to being the youngest. Passover arrives, and even though she cannot do the things she wants, Hannah learns that being the littlest Levine has its perks when she is the one chosen to ask the important four questions, a very special role only given to the youngest person at the table. Sandy Lanton writes an adorable book that serves double duty by naming several of the wonderful holidays of the year, as well as a subtle lesson that teaches that everyone has something special in store for them. The illustrations are bright and cute. It is a sweet book that teaches every member of the family is valued and even if they can't keep up,or are the youngest, they have an importance in the group.
Good Children's Book!
The children's book gives a bit of information about Jewish holidays.
I bought as a gift for a friend who is going to be a savta (grandma in Hebrew) soon. Her last name is Levine, so it is perfect!
So many good messages!
While I agree with all the other positive reviews, I also think this sweet story speaks to shy children, walking them through the discomfort of being left out because they're "littlest", and then helping them rise to the occasion. There are many good messages here.
Five Stars
Great book for my great-nephew, who happens to be a Levine!
A role that only the littlest Levine can fill!
Hannah Levine is the smallest member of her family. She is not able to do a lot of things that the other members of her family can do like close the oven, put plates on a high shelf, and light a menorah. Her grandfather keeps telling her that her day is going to be coming soon. Every evening after dinner she and her grandfather go off together so that he can teach her...and nobody knows just what exactly until the day comes when Hannah has her own special role that only the Littlest Levine can fill.
Hannah's grandfather was there for her in the story while she was going through hard moments of not being able to do things other members of her family could. Her family members did allow her to do some things, just not the kind of things other members of her family could. He was also there to teach her something so she can have an important role in the family also; I liked how he created special time just for her to teach her, which probably made her feel special.
I love how Kar-Ben books usually explain the main topic of the book after the story is over; in this case it was Passover. The description included the purpose of the Passover holiday, what is done during the holiday, and what is eaten.
