We Tell It to Our Children: The Story of Passover : A Haggadah for Seders with Young Children

Children's active participatory Haggadah makes Passover story into an engaging drama of the Exodus story. A complete guide, including multi-national recipes, for putting on the traditional Seder meal for Passover. Text is a musical puppet show with Judaically-meaningful lyrics set to simple American folk tunes. Everyone participates in singing throughout the service. The reader edition has nine cut-out puppets. Parts for non-readers and early readers. Endorsed by rabbis, religious educators (Jewish and Christian), children's book store owners, preschool teachers, parents and grandparents nationwide. For home or model seders. Authentically Jewish; easy for non-Jews. Gender-sensitive. Developmentally appropriate for children. Downright fun for adults. Other unique features include the Passover food symbols, like matzah, explained at the appropriate times in the story; special sections to personalize and teach about World Jewry. Difficult concepts like slavery are taught through action, songs, and pictures. Lyrics respond to children's thinking while tackling complicated issues surrounding freedom. Plentiful, detailed drawings emphasize the immediacy of ideas and clearly illustrate every idea and ceremonial symbol.Wark, Mary Ann Barrows is the author of 'We Tell It to Our Children: The Story of Passover : A Haggadah for Seders with Young Children', published 2002 under ISBN 9780961988074 and ISBN 096198807X.
