I love this book and cried the first time I read it to my girls. It is a beautiful story about one of the simplest acts that we do as jews. I must have for any young Jewish child.
A Mezuzah on the Door October 30, 2008
Well written and illustrated for children over three years old. Too wordy for under three.

OK, so I'm from Arkansas, land of very few Jews. I'm an Episcopalian, but I believe that my children should know the value of many different religions. But not in a perfunctory, PC, diversityish way. And this book is just perfect for that. It beautifully explains a Jewish tradition while telling a delightful story that any child would enjoy. How lucky are the children of this author!

The Mezuzah on the Door blends Jewish ritual with the many emotions involved in moving and new beginnings.The Mezuzah ceremony brings together family and old friends as Noah adjusts to his new home. The dynamic interplay of text and illustrations clearly aand delightfully tell the story of Jewish ritual surrounding the dedication of a new home. It is accessible to people with any level of Jewish knowlege. Judaism serves as a source of comfort and support for the entire family through this significant life change. Humor and fine writng make this book a "must have" for young families.
