"Across the Jewniverse is a feast for the eyes, loaded with bold graphics and playful juxtaposition of photos and text...Taken all together, the book is a lively, kid-centered mash up of The Everything Judaism Book with the Guinness Book of World Records.Both Jewish and non-Jewish readers will enjoy this delightful jumble of Jewish accomplishments and traditions. The facts may be random, but the Jewish rep in Across the Jewniverse is on point. Touching on everything from Ashkenazi athletes to Sephardic food, from Jews in Ethiopia to Jews in New York City, Olitzky and Boden Cohen’s book is a celebration of Jewish life across time and across the world." —The Jewish Book Garden
