GOODNIGHT BUBBALA
GOODNIGHT BUBBALA is an energetic, silly Hanukkah parody of Goodnight Moon that turns the quiet green room into the setting of a family dance party that's not to be missed.
In the small blue room there was a bubbala, and a little shmatta, and then, oy vey!, came--the whole mishpakcha!
This lively parody of one of America's favorite bedtime books imagines how Margaret Wise Brown's story might unfold if the little one were a Jewish bunny with his bubbies and zeydes saying goodnight. In Goodnight Bubbala, that bedtime routine includes slurping matzoh ball soup, and dancing the hora with all the family members, and--because it's Hanukkah--playing a few rounds of dreidel as well. It's a joyous, endearing celebration of the Yiddish language and the Jewish American experience, particularly during the festival of lights.
Selling Points:
Playful Hanukkah read-aloud: This Jewish bedtime tale takes place during Hanukkah, with latkes and dreidels and a glowing menorah. It's a perfect book for the holiday.
Clever parody: Unlike the restful Goodnight Moon, this funny spoof is full of rambunctious activity--dancing and singing and eating and playing. It's a bedtime book that shakes the sillies out before bubbala gets tucked in for bed at last.
Sheryl Haft is the founder of Kids Engineer!, an elementary after school program that teaches engineering principles through design and invention. She is also a teacher volunteer with pARTners Jackson Hole, a program that inspires a passion for the arts through K-12 education. The author of Baby Boo, I Love You and the upcoming Amazing Mazie McGear, Kid Engineer, Sheryl, her husband, and their daughters divide their time between New York City and Wilson, Wyoming.
Jill Weber has illustrated and designed many children's books, including the Sydney Taylor Book Award Winner The Story of Passover by David Adler and the New York Times Bestseller The Christmas Tree by Julie Salamon. When she isn't illustrating, she can be found in her garden. She and her husband live in New Hampshire with various pets.
