This month, 8,000 Jewish children in the UK will be receiving books from PJ Library that focus on kindness and connection, including a special title that will resonate with most families. Tea With Zayde is a delightful tale of a little girl and her grandfather settling down for a cake and catch up at the same time every day. It is not until the final page though (spoiler alert!) that the reader learns the two are actually having a virtual conversation across two computer screens. After a year when real life connections were not available for most grandparents, this clever book focuses on the strong bond between the two characters rather than their physical location. PJ Library has put together six suggested ways for younger children to connect with the older generation or four ideas for slightly older kids.
If your child is aged eight years or under sign them up now for their free monthly Jewish book from PJ Library.
