Based upon the Hasidic legend The Tear of Repentance, The Hardest Word: A Yom Kippur Story offers an entertaining and ultimately heartwarming examination of the central theme of Yom Kippur: repentance and restitution for one's wrongdoing. Author Jacqueline Jules' story is engaging, and is presented in a way that will be relatable for children (and perhaps also adults), many of whom do indeed find saying "sorry" to be difficult. The accompanying artwork from illustrator Katherine Janus Kahn, who is also responsible for the illustrations in the Sammy Spider series about the Jewish holidays, is bright and appealing. I liked the use of color here, and the incorporation of words into the visuals, in the later scenes in the book. Apparently this title was selected by the PJ Library, a non-profit organization that sends free Jewish-themed children's books to Jewish families in the US, Canada and more than a dozen other countries, as part of their collection. This program, inspired by Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, which has sent over 100 million free books to needy children since its inception.
Both sound like worthy projects indeed! The Hardest Word: A Yom Kippur Story is one I would Recommend to picture-book readers looking for Yom Kippur stories. It could also be used as a Sukkot story, as the vegetables in the garden are intended for the children's sukkahs. ( )
