Overview
From the award-winning creators of Two New Years comes a joyful picture book that brings Hebrew words and Jewish traditions to life through warm storytelling and vibrant illustrations—complete with an engaging glossary of terms for speaking goodness into the world.
Follow a young Jewish boy throughout a good day! Because today is a good day to play with a chaver tov—a good friend. And it’s a good day to savor taam tov, such as a meal full of challah, cholent, and kugel. And it’s a really good day to celebrate an older brother’s bar mitzvah aliyah with a shower of candy—mazel tov!
From boker tov in the morning to laila tov at night, award-winning author Richard Ho and illustrator Lynn Scurfield celebrate all the ways to experience goodness in the Jewish tradition. Today is tov. And tov is good!
