Little Red Rosie cover

A bouncy, colorful picture book by award-winning author Eric Kimmel for Rosh Hashanah.

“A beautiful retelling with a kinder, more inclusive ending.” –Midwest Book Review

In this playful version of The Little Red Hen, a young girl enlists her animal friends to help make the challah for Rosh Hashanah.

The whole diverse neighborhood joins in the Rosh Hashanah celebration at the end of the story, emphasizing the universality of our resolve to build a better world in the new year.


"Little Red Rosie" is the delightful retelling of the story of the little red hen, with a Rosh Hashanah twist. [It is] a beautiful retelling of an old children's tale with a kinder, more inclusive ending. Rosh Hashanah is honored and celebrated by the mitzvah of hachnasat orchim, or welcoming guests. The universality of Rosh Hashanah is emphasized as Rosie and her friends wish everyone a good year to come!"
