About the Book
Every Friday night, Rachel helps her Bubbe get ready for Shabbat. And every week, her Bubbe has just one rule: don’t touch the challah.
But Rachel’s imagination just can’t resist turning that braided loaf into… a hat, a bicycle, a garden — even a swing!
But will she be able to use her skills to save Shabbat from her sneaky cousin Shimon?
