"This is an endearing, warm story, so gently told, with soft, charming illustrations. Netta and her family are, in a word, irresistible. You won't want to limit this book to the Tu B'Shevat holiday - it is good story-telling at all times of the year."
Chicago Jewish Star
"Gellman's (Jeremy's Dreidel) gentle, serious prose conveys profound respect for Netta's unwavering stewardship as well as her changing emotional states. Ugliano (Benjamin and the Silver Goblet) is very much in sync, with quietly reassuring scenes of modern Jewish family life and characters whose thoughtful, open faces exude warmth and constancy."
