Sliding Into the New Year
Book 1 in the YaYa & YoYo series.
(For ages 8-12)
Thrill-loving fifth-grader Ellie Silver (YaYa) has been waiting all summer to visit the brand new indoor water park in town. She is super excited when her best friend, Megan, invites her to go-- that is until Ellie's twin brother, Joel (YoYo), points out that Megan is going on the first day of Rosh Hashanah. Sure, Rosh Hashanah is a big deal, but so is Splash World! What will Ellie do?
"Weinstein employs YaYa's voice as the very believable and delightful narrator and carefully avoids didacticism as she introduces readers to some of the rituals and traditions of Judaism as they are practiced in a warm, loving family."
Kirkus Reviews
"YaYa & YoYo: Sliding Into the New Year is just the sort of wonderful and entertaining story I wish was around when my children were young."
Rabbi Irwin Kula
President, CLAL (National Jewish Center for Learning and Leadership)
"Finally, a Jewish book for young readers that is well-written, engaging, lots of fun and has important lessons to teach."
Rabbi Kerry M. Olitzky
Executive Director, Jewish Outreach Institute
"A contemporary style and point of view that connect present-day pluralistic Judaism to the unbroken chain of Jewish beliefs and customs are at the story's heart. ...This first entry into the series is a good beginning."
Association of Jewish Libraries
"Our Mom is the best author in the whole, wide world!"
Dori's kids (who are not biased at all!)
