Description
"Together Kline and Simon have crafted a book about Jewish life that is accessible, thoughtful, and memorable. Children will enjoy being carried away by the illustrations and rhyming language. Parents and educators will appreciate the detail and opportunity to share pictures and words that reflect the richness of Jewish ritual and community. It is well worth a look by librarians and community organizations who seek to add cultural diversity to their children’s collections. All told, Almost a Minyan is a solid example of children’s literature that will give readers the ultimate gift – the opportunity to create memories of learning together."

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.

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.
