They don’t have much here, but with a little imagination and lo que sea, they’ll make it work—so an outgrown dress becomes a blanket becomes a prayer shawl becomes a wedding canopy and ultimately becomes a symbol at the center of this community’s celebrations. In this Spanish language edition of With a Needle and Thread: A Jewish Folktale from Cuba, author Jennifer Stempel has woven her own Cuban Jewish heritage into this heartwarming folktale. Readers will delight in Libi Axelrod’s detailed illustrations which highlight the rich traditions of this unique community.
