My Matzah

Ann Diament Koffsky has written and/or illustrated more than thirty books for children, including Kayla and Kugel, Kayla and Kugel’s Almost-Perfect Passover, Kayla and Kugel's Happy Hanukkah, Judah Maccabee Goes to the Doctor, What's In Tuli's Box? and Under-the-Sea Seder. She lives in West Hempstead, New York.

"A cute little koala searches for the afikomen everywhere, including swinging from a chandelier and climbing a lamp and a bunk bed ladder, which is not all that different from an active toddler at a seder. An older relative (possibly a father but probably the young koala's Saba) is always nearby. The final page offers a bit more information about the hunt for the afikomen, just enough for a very young reader. This board book series also has a book about a mezuzah (with a rabbit), and one about a dreidel (with a poppy). For those who are okay with animals standing in for Jewish children and their families, this will be fun to share with the youngest family members during Passover.This title is a nice choice for all libraries with board book collections, especially those serving Jewish families."—Association of Jewish Libraries
