Rising is a soothing story of a Jewish family bonding over making challah before the Shabbat. The calm colors of the illustrations and the soft tone of the sentences would make this an ideal bedtime story. It highlights togetherness and patience. By working together, the family is strengthened and able to enjoy a special time each week to be together. The author includes a recipe in the back for challah bread which would make a great addition to a study on Jewish traditions. It also includes a glossary of the Hebrew terms used in the story so non-Jewish readers can also follow along.
