Very colourful and beautifully illustrated by Menahem Halberstadt, this paperback book teaches young readers the importance of being curious, and never giving up until an answer is given, but its core is the story of Passover, the Four Questions, and family traditions. Ideal for ages between 4-7 years, and a perfect Seder present. -- West London Synagogue Magazine

Got a question? asks Mom.

Definitely! I thought. Who invented spoons? I ask. What kind of meal is a matzoh meal? Can spicy stuff make you breathe fire?

In their apartment, the ever-inquisitive Sami is watching his mother prepare pot roast for the Passover seder. Noticing that both ends of the roast have been cut off, Sami wants to know why, but his mother can't give him an answer - only that her mother always did it. Determined to get to the bottom of this, Sami runs upstairs to his Grandma Shirley's apartment to ask her - amongst other things - the same question.

But Grandma Shirley can only give him the same answer as his mother: Because that's how my mother always did it. Not giving up, Sami runs up one more flight of stairs to ask Great-Grandma Lee, who finally gives him an answer and encourages him to keep asking questions, no matter what.

This beautifully illustrated, light-hearted story has family and Jewish traditions - in particular Passover and the Four Questions - at its core. It teaches young readers about the importance of being curious, asking questions and not giving up until you find an answer.
