Savta Simcha and the Incredible Shabbes Bag by Yaffa Ganz

Description

From the moment Savta Simcha arrives in Wintergreen City, USA, strange, funny, and wonderful things begin to happen.

At first the children think she s just a silly old lady with two yellow canaries perched upon her over-sized, floppy pink hat, while carrying an enormous black bag filled with unusual surprises. But then, they discover her infectious zest for life, her joy, her wisdom and kindness, and they realize their everyday lives will never be the same again.
Every encounter with Savta Simcha becomes a source of delight, whether it involves a leaky roof, a nutmeg tree, a matter of stolen mushrooms, or the loss of her enormous black bag. Young readers of all ages will marvel at these wonderful stories filled with Jewish values and enchanting illustrations that perfectly capture the charm of these whimsical tales.

Yaffa Ganz is the award-winning author of numerous children’s books, among them the popular Savta Simcha Series.
