One Little Goat: A Passover Catastrophe by Dara Horn
4.0
I cannot believe I've gone through 31 years on this planet knowing absolutely nothing about Passover. This book is a wildly illustrated strange story about a first-born son and his search through a hallway of time and space for his family's missing afikomen. (If you're worried because, like me, you had no prior knowledge of Passover, do not worry; terminology and traditions are explained in a natural and story-serving way.)
The illustration style is so unique and shows movement and sound and the chaos of the situation in a fitting way. It is well suited to the oddness of the story itself.
It was like the graphic novel Passover version of Bradbury's The Halloween Tree in its historical exploration of customs through time. It was a fun, well-paced and informative ride that I easily read in one sitting.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review!
