Bring Back the Babka!

Written by Marilyn Wolpin and Illustrated by Madison Safer

“A food-filled mystery that celebrates the diversity of Jewish food and the Jewish community. Readers will be hungry by the story’s end!” – School Library Journal

When their mama's home-baked babka goes missing, brothers Sammy and Sol set off into their diverse Jewish neighborhood to find it. Instead, they encounter other delicious treats and words of wisdom at each house they visit. But there might be some clues along the way as to who the culprit is... Solve the mystery of the missing babka in this heartwarming and humorous tale of community members coming together for Shabbat.
