This book is a great folktale for children to learn about different traditions and cultural beliefs around the world. The author brings the story to life by talking about a real life tradition and a picture of fantasy and creativity.

This is a retelling of Hansel and Gretel set in the American West along the pioneer trail. Hank & Gertie wander off while the wagon train is parked and find themselves in trouble with a dangerous witch. The pioneer setting is unexpected and whimsical, but the illustrations, narrative voice, and dramatic choices fell flat for me.

One of two picture books I picked up at the Friends of the Library Sale to send to a Jewish friend collecting picture books (so of course, have to read them before mailing them off). As a gentile, I am not familiar with Rosh Hashanah, but this was a heartwarming little tale on how sometimes miracles really are just kindness towards those in need.
