“What a magical collection! On All Other Nights takes middle grade readers on a joyful journey through fourteen beautifully written stories inspired by the steps of the Passover seder. I love the stunning scope of this anthology, whose stories range from fantasy to memoir, verse to graphic narrative. On All Other Nights not only displays the intersectionality of today’s diverse Jewish voices; it also demonstrates the richness of Jewish culture. A totally fresh, delightful compilation of Yiddishkeit!” -- Stacy Nockowitz, author of The Prince of Steel Pier, winner of the 2022 National Jewish Book Award “Woven through matzah and maror, stories and song, this accessible and inspiring feast of writing traces the threads of belonging and freedom—a testament to the transformative power of collective memory.” -- M. Evan Wolkenstein, author of Turtle Boy, winner of the 2021 Sydney Taylor Book Award Young people will become engrossed in the richly detailed narratives, learn a great deal about different ways to conduct a seder, and root for the protagonists. Unusual, entertaining, and deeply moving. * Kirkus * [W]elcoming and buoyant anthology...This who’s who of contemporary middlegrade Jewish literature, with a stockpile of Sydney Taylor Book Awards among the authors, offers stories in formats and tones consistent with their popular work and joyously reflective of the variety of their backgrounds and own Jewish traditions.
