Description
A beautifully illustrated and presented intergenerational graphic novel that explores Jewish identity, generational divides, and the complexities of life in New York City. 11-year-old Benji and his elderly grandmother, Bubbe Rosa, embark on a journey through Brooklyn and Manhattan, gathering ingredients for a Friday night dinner. As they wander, fragments of Bubbe's past are revealed, including her childhood in Germany, her relationships with loved ones, and the events that shaped her cantankerous personality. Through their story, we gain insight into the power of acceptance, the importance of understanding different perspectives, and the enduring bonds between generations.
