Eighteen Flowers for Grandma

Sadie's grandmother is studying art and invites Sadie to learn and share her passion. But Sadie's grandmother passes on more than her love of art to her grandchild; she also shares her knowledge of Jewish cultural traditions. Sadie learns about the meaning of "chai"—the Hebrew word for life—and the significance of the lucky number eighteen.

Her grandmother will soon graduate from college, so Sadie commits herself to finding a perfect way to celebrate with a gift that combines her love of art and newly learned traditions.

Readers will appreciate the relationship at the heart of the story in which a passion for art and cultural traditions are lovingly shared between the generations. Eighteen Flowers for Grandma is where love, tradition, and creativity intersect; it will leave an indelible mark on the hearts of readers young and old.

Backmatter includes additional information about several Jewish cultural references found in the book, the Hebrew alphabet, and a note about the author's inspiration for the story.
