Children's Review: The Sundown Kid A Southwestern Shabbat

The Sundown Kid: A Southwestern Shabbat - Barbara Bietz

We received this book to give an honest review.

In this story we are introduced to a Jewish family that has moved out West to start a better life. 

Though they are the only Jewish family in their small town that does not stop them from preparing for Shabbat. Though I do wish we were told what Shabbat was especially since I do not know much about the Jewish traditions. 

As they are in the middle of Shabbat the young boy's mom misses their family that is back home so,  what is the best way to fill their home with laughter besides memories? Invite your neighbors to celebrate Shabbat with you and share the laughter and love you have. We all know there is plenty to go around. 

The illustrations were very lively and went well with the story.
