Zayde comes to live by Sheri Sinykin, illustrated by
Kristina Swarner. Peachtree 2012.
So many books about death and the afterlife are from a
Christian perspective, so this is welcome addition, told from a Jewish
perspective.
Christian and Islamic beliefs are mentioned as Rachel, the
first-person narrator, tries to find out what is going to happen to her
grandfather, her Zayde, after his death.
It is a reassuring and touching story about the circle of
life.
