Description

To: The Easter Bunny
From: Michael

I've always celebrated Easter, but my new stepsister, Anna, celebrates Passover. I want her to have something special in the Golden Egg when you bring it. If I think of something, I'll let you know.

While waiting for an answer, Michael annoys Anna by following her around, hoping for inspiration. But Anna has her own problem: her Passover items are missing.

Each time she can't find something, Michael has an "aha" moment and is certain he has discovered what to put in the egg... only to hear back from the Easter Bunny that the item won't fit.

In the end, Michael does more than find something special to put inside the Golden Egg—he saves Anna's favourite part of the Passover seder.

In this humorous and endearing picture book, blending both Easter and Passover, a young boy and his stepsister realise celebrating together (or hunting together for Easter Eggs and the Afikoman) makes the holidays even better.

Easter Eggs and Matzo Balls includes a glossary of Easter and Passover terms and concludes with recipes of Anna and Michael's favourite holiday foods, ready for children to replicate in their own kitchens.
