About a child showing patience and seeing a consistent devotion in family life and about minyans -the amount of people needed for certain readings/prayers in the Hebrew faith. The illustrations emphasize the love of family. Perfect for younger children through elementary. Highly recommend!

This delightful story covers such instrumental themes as faith, family, and loss, with depth and understanding.

This sweet little book is about a little girl who wants to go to the synagogue with her dad. Although she's too young to be counted as a member of the daily minyan (10 people over the age of 13), she finally convinces him to take her and they both cherish every minute of their time together. The illustrations in this charming book about doing something meaningful and spiritual with a parent beautifully enhance, if not tell, this lovely story.

I received this book from the publisher as an ARC from NetGalley.

I greatly enjoyed this introduction to Jewish life and tradition. The book was easy to read, and the glossary at the end was very informative. A very accessible book for children and adults.

What a delightful book ! A little girl learns how to find joy in praying and celebrating Jewish traditions and community by watching her father's example!
The father shows her faithfulness by joining others in prayer every day, by celebrating Shabbat with his father, mourning his passing, and inviting her to celebrate his life by wearing his tallith and praying with him in shul.
You will enjoy the meaningful artwork and prose as you celebrate this little girls first Minyan!

Its religious educational book for little Jew Kids.. Frankly speaking if glossary was not given, people like me living in India would not understand all the terminology used in story. But after looking at terms, I read story once again.

A good read for Jew kids to show explain them various prayers made through out day.

Stunningly-illustrated, here is an egalitarian story about the Jewish practice of having a quorum of ten men (and in this case, men and women) available for prayer-a minyan.

A young girl in a dwindling Jewish community with one shul (synagogue) has an opportunity to be part of a minyan after her grandfather dies and she reaches the appropriate age. Though the publisher's marketing copy states that this book will appeal to a wide cross-section of the Jewish community, Orthodox to secular, those in more traditional wings of Judaism will shun the idea of a woman, let alone a young girl, wearing a tallit (prayer shawl) and donning tefillin (phylacteries).

This was a sweet little read. I found plenty of virtue and beautiful lessons within these pages. Definitely one to look at further.

I really enjoyed this book. It is a delightful picture book and short story about a young Jewish girl who watches her father go off every morning to shul (the temple) to pray. In the story we learn more about his important role as one of the ten people that make up the minyan. I will admit that I did learn from the book myself and it is an enjoyable read. It has some lovely images and the glossary in the back of the book is also handy and it explains any words that people might not know.

For those out there that don't know, a minyan is ten people that are needed in order for certain prayers and rituals to be performed.

So this is a delightful picture book about a young girl who watched her father go off every morning to shul (temple) to pray, yes, but most importantly be one of the ten to make up the minyan.

Lively pictures. And glossary in the back for any words that people might not know.

As usual it is not only important for children to see themselves in stories, but also for children to read about things that are different. To learn what their Jewish friends are doing. Excellent introduction.



Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review
