Passover Storytime & Chocolate Matzah Making (In Person)

Get ready for Passover with Cantor Josh and local children’s book author Susan Lynn Meyer. We’ll hear a read-aloud of her storybook Matzah Belowstairs and then make our very own chocolate matzah to get ready for the following week’s Passover seder! About Matzah Belowstairs, Susan adds: on Passover, like the messy Winkler family in the book, her family always has matzah crumbs all over the floor!

Susan Lynn Meyer is the author of three middle-grade historical novels on Jewish themes: A Sky Full of Song, Black Radishes, and Skating with the Statue of Liberty. She is also the author of four picture books, including Matzah Belowstairs. Her works have won the Sydney Taylor Honor Award twice, the Jane Addams Peace Association Children’s Book Award, the New York State Charlotte Award, and the Western Writers of America Spur Award, as well as many other honors. They have been chosen as Junior Library Guild selections, included among Bank Street College of Education’s Best Children’s Books of the Year, and translated into German and Chinese. Susan is Professor of English and Creative Writing at Wellesley College and lives outside Boston. Visit her online at here.
