Tomes and Tea Leaves

So, I'm a bit late to this party, but this 30-day book challenge is looking like fun, and it looks like a way to highlight some books that have been important to me.  

Day 5 is a book that makes me happy, so I'm looking back to a book (a series really) from childhood that made me very happy indeed.  Sydney Taylor's All of a Kind Family told the story of a Jewish family in early-twentieth century New York.  There were five daughters in the family (and later a son), they didn't have much money, but they were a close and loving family.  As a child I learned a great deal about the celebrations in Judaism from reading this book.  I recently reread this book, and it was just as delightful as I remember, and it brought back those happy nostalgic thoughts of my reading past.
