Bookroo's summary

Miriam adores Passover with her family, relishing matzah all week. But on the holiday's final day, she's had enough and vows never to eat it again. Enter Grandpa with his special matzah brei, and Miriam discovers that Passover holds deeper meanings beyond the matzah. Will this new perspective change her mind? Join Miriam on a journey of tradition, family, and unexpected insights.

From the publisher

In this charming and humorous story, Miriam discovers—with the help of her family and a little matzah bread—the true meaning and importance of Passover. Miriam loves spending time with her family during Passover, and all week long she is happy to eat lots of matzah. But when she wakes up on the last day of the holiday, she is sick of matzah and refuses to eat it ever again. Then Grandpa makes his special matzah brei for the whole family, and Miriam learns there’s more to Passover than just the matzah.
