A beautifully illustrated, reassuring table of ritual and family bonding. Young Jennie has Friday off school to help her grandmother prepare for the family meal before the Sabbath. Jennie and Nana have their breakfast and then start work: polishing the candlesticks, ironing the tablecloth and braiding the dough for challah bread. Then they put on their pretty Sabbath dresses while the snow falls outside, and wait for Jennie's parents and baby brother to arrive with the rest of the family. Now Jennie's best time begins. Full of gorgeous colours and absorbing detail, this story portrays the rich pattern of love and tradition woven into the special relationship between a child and a grandparent.
Amy Hest has written many children's stories including Rosie's Fishing Trip, Jamaica Louise James. When Jessie Came Across the Sea (Winner of the 1998 Kate Greenaway Medal) and four books about Baby Duck: In the Rain with Baby Duck; Baby Duck and the New Eyeglasses; You're the Boss, Baby Duck! and Off to School, Baby Duck! She remembers lighting Friday night candles with her own grandmother as a child, saying, "It's a lovely tradition. Time with a grandparent is very special and children remember it always." Amy lives in New York City. Claire A. Nivola is a painter and sculptor and has illustrated several children's picture books. Her illustrations are filled with wonderful decorative details inspired by the furnishings and objects around her. She says, "The rooms in The Friday Nights of Nana are a composite of the various places I have lived in throughout my life. Claire lives in Massachusetts with her husband and two children.
