Kaddish for Grandpa in Jesus' Name Amen

Kaddish for Grandpa in Jesus' Name Amen Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"When I was new, my grandpa was very old."

When Emily was two, her grandpa sang songs to her. When she was four, he read her stories. When Emily is five, her beloved grandfather dies. Her family decides to remember him in two ways: with a Christian funeral, because Grandpa was Christian, and a Jewish service, because Emily's family is Jewish. Both ways are beautiful. But Emily finds a way of remembering her grandpa that is just as beautiful and meaningful...and that's all her own.

In this tender story for all families a young girl learns how to say goodbye to her grandpa without letting go of his memory.

Synopsis:

When Emily's grandfather passes away, her family mourns for him in two ways: with a Christian funeral because Grandpa was Christian, and a Jewish service because Emily's family is Jewish. Full color.
