My Shofar: A Rosh Hashanah Board Book by Ann Diament Koffsky from Series My Jewish Objects

"Joyful illustrations and vibrant ­backgrounds make this a delightful addition to holiday collections."–School Library Journal

On Rosh Hashanah, the shofar's loud sound can surprise us and help us pay attention. It makes us think about how we can do better in the coming year.

Is it LOUD or is it QUIET? A young elephant wants to blow the shofar, the traditional horn played during the Jewish New Year of Rosh Hashanah, but it comes out too quiet. Elephant must try again and again. This board book by prolific children's author Ann D. Koffsky is the fourth in the series about Jewish objects and basic concepts, following My Mezuzah, My Dreidel, and My Matzah.
