It’s Matzah Day! Celebrate with this joyful rhyming story!

Mom and Dad and baby, too,
We love matzah! So will you!

In this fun rhyming story, a family celebrates Passover with lots of matzah–with lox, as stuffing, matzah pizza, and matzah candy. Get it from a box or make it yourself. 

Information about Passover and matzah, as well as matzah recipes are included at the back of the book.
