Bookroo's summary

Izzy loves the Rosh Hashanah tradition of Tashlich, where past mistakes are cast away. Yet, one apology lingers unspoken, challenging him to find the courage to clear his conscience. As the new year dawns, will Izzy overcome his hesitation and embrace a fresh start? This heartwarming tale weaves humor and family bonds into a celebration of renewal and forgiveness.

From the publisher

Izzy s favorite part of Rosh Hashanah is Tashlich, a joyous ceremony in which people apologize for the mistakes they made in the previous year and thus clean the slate as the new year begins. But there is one mistake on Izzy s I m sorry list that he s finding especially hard to say out loud. Humor, touching moments between family and friends, and lots of information about the Jewish New Year are all combined in this lovely picture book for holiday sharing. Winner of the Sydney Taylor Gold Medal for best Jewish picture book of the year!”
