In "The Colors of My Jewish Year," author Marji Gold-Vukson and illustrator Madeline Wikler use a clever approach to teach young children about Jewish holidays. Each of the major feasts is represented by a color associated with an item that pertains to that occasion.

Each color/item/occasion is presented in a question-and-answer format. Example: "What is WHITE? The cover of the Torah on Yom Kippur. That is WHITE." The illustrations are simple and iconic. Overall, this is a good book for reinforcing Jewish education.

I bought it for my three kids and my two year old loves it! the pictures are very simple with the focus really being on the color being talked about. it's also nice that it used holidays to build up faith as well. I would recommend this book very highly and am planning on buying a copy for my shul play room.

graphics and words are simple. great for introducing colors and jewish concepts together. my 6 y.o. is still not tired of it. as i've said about many books, this is a basic to have in your jewish books collection. we use chanukah time, especially, to add books to our jewish library.

Sweet and simple. I would have liked slightly more polished illustrations, but it is a unique concept and it works.

THE COLORS OF MY JEWISH YEAR is a board book designed to introduce your toddler to the Jewish holidays and practices by associating bright colors with Judaism's many symbols. Although I've never seen a brown dreidel, I have seen red apples, yellow etrogs, purple wine, and orange candle flames. These simple illustrations will set a nice foundation for your child's Jewish education.
