Strudel Stories

Reach for this book when your child starts asking where they come from or struggles to understand how their own small life fits into a much larger family history. Strudel Stories is a beautifully layered collection of vignettes that follows seven generations of a Jewish family through various highs and lows, all tied together by the ritual of baking a traditional apple strudel. It deals with universal themes of resilience, migration, and the healing power of shared traditions. For children aged 8 to 12, it provides a comforting sense of continuity and helps them see that they are the latest chapter in a long, meaningful story. It is an ideal choice for families looking to discuss heritage or for children who enjoy stories about cooking and the passing of time.
