A story about a blended family and their holidays - Easter and Passover

To: The Easter Bunny
From: Michael

I’ve always celebrated Easter, but my new stepsister, Anna, celebrates Passover. I want her to have something special in the Golden Egg when you bring it…

Michael follows Anna around hoping for inspiration. But Anna has her own problem: her Passover items are missing. Each time she can’t find something, Michael has an “aha” moment and is certain he has discovered what to put in the egg . . . only to hear back from the Easter Bunny that the item won’t fit. But ultimately, Michael does more than find something special—he saves Anna’s favorite part of the Passover seder.

In this endearing book, Michael and Anna realize celebrating together (or hunting together for Easter Eggs and the Afikoman) makes the holidays even better.

Included is a glossary of Easter and Passover terms and recipes of favorite holiday foods ready for children to replicate in their own kitchens.
