Synopsis
2018 Sydney Taylor Notable Picture Book
"This book is nothing but pure fun from beginning to end, with a gentle environmental lesson thrown in". – Jewish Book Council
How does Big Sam make a GIANT-sized challah for Rosh Hashanah?
He digs an enormous hole in the ground to use as a mixing bowl. (It's still there today — we call it the Grand Canyon.
He adds mountains of flour, thousands of eggs, and other good things.
He whittles a massive California redwood tree into a mixing spoon. He flattens the hills of West Texas as he kneads the dough. And he bakes it inside Mount Saint Helens.
But when it's time to celebrate the holiday, the eagles call out, "Not so fast, Big Sam!" Rosh Hashanah is about fixing the world, and Big Sam has some MAJOR cleaning up to do.

Review
"This book is nothing but pure fun from beginning to end. Kimmel's tall tale is perfect for reading aloud, and soft, evocative illustrations that show the grandeur of an old-time American landscape are a perfect match...Matching Rosh Hashanah with an appreciation of the natural world is an inspired choice." -- Leslie A. Kimmelman "Jewish Book Council"
