New picture book shines a light on an important Jewish naming custom.


The Sephardic Jewish custom of naming a child after their paternal or maternal grandparent is depicted in a warm and vibrant story about a young boy who has many cousins with his name, Jojo.


Jojo Nissim is proud that he has many cousins who share his name. Big Jojo is his oldest cousin who can do lots of things like ride his scooter super fast. Jojo-man is another cousin, called so because he loves superheroes. His six-month-old cousin is called Baby Jojo because, well, he's a baby! Named after Papa Jojo to show how much their family loves him, all of the cousins love having dinner together at their grandfather's house on Fridays for Shabbat where they eat kibbe cherry, eggplant mehshi, challah, and other delicious customary food.
