Here’s an example of a “living book” relevant for this time of the year: Dual Discovery by Zecharya Hoffman. My kids and I took turns reading it over Pesach last year, and we had some interesting discussions. This is a novel set in Egypt, during the exodus. The readers get to observe, through the eyes of the characters, the life of Jewish slaves, the ten plagues in vivid detail, and the Torah learning of the Levites. The familiar story truly comes to life.
Word of caution: the descriptions of the ten plagues are rather vivid, so it might be too scary for young or especially sensitive children.
G-d willing I’ll be posting book recommendations at least twice a month after Pesach. Spread the word to any friends who might be interested.
I so appreciate all your recommendations! I look forward to the rest. Thanks for putting in all this effort.
