With superbly executed illustrations awash in color

Set in Biblical times, Rachel's Gift By Richard Ungar tells of a young Jewish woman who, just as Passover approaches, has received the special gift of a recipe for amazing and delicious matzo ball soup. They hope that the soup's fragrance will lure Elijah the Prophet to their home, and bring them good fortune. Many neighbors come, but could any of these ordinary people be the great prophet? Richard Ungar's superbly executed illustrations are awash in color and bring this spiritual picture book tale to life in the mind's eye of young readers ages 7 to 10.
