Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for granting me free access to the advanced digital copy of this book.

This was so sweet. There were moments that made me, made me cry and made me think. This was amazing and I am so happy we have something like this out in the world

My review for “All Other Nights” appeared within a graphic on Instagram and the text can’t be cut and pasted. I recommended this book to my follower. The link to the relevant post is here: https://www.instagram.com/p/C5oLY_ArjW8/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Loved this one, found the insights into Passover fascinating, and loved how the whole thing walks the reader through the Sedar meal. Mari Lowe and Ruth Behar's stories were my favorite, and they made me want to go out and read all of their other work (although to be honest, I would have done that with Ruth Behar anyway). Includes a story where the protagonist comes out as nonbinary.

What a wonderful Passover anthology! I loved the variety in storytelling. I really liked how each chapter introduced a different step in the seder, had four thematic questions and breathtaking artwork before launching into the story itself. Most of all I loved how this showcased the diversity of Judaism, how Jews can all share in the holiday of Passover and yet we all have our own unique family traditions. It is truly a beautiful window into Jewish life. It is a great book to read in the weeks leading up to Passover. Parents can read one story each night with their kids to get in the holiday mindset and to set the table for fantastic, meaningful discussions.

Thank you ABRAMS Kids for the ARC. I am so happy that a children's book like this exists!

I truly enjoyed reading the varied stories of Passover! I loved reading the stories that were similar to my own growing up. I loved reading the stories about how other cultures celebrate their traditions for Passover from all my favorite authors. I learned so much! I wish this book had been around when I was in middle school.

A must-have for all libraries - elementary, middle grades, high school, home schools, and home libraries!

I am so happy to see Passover finally getting the attention it deserves! This is a very cute middle-grade short story anthology. It's tricky putting together an anthology, but I think this has something for everyone. I thought it was clever how the editors organized the stories according to the steps of the seder and I absolutely loved the acknowledgements, as well as each contributor's bio, which made some reference to their own Passover traditions—I wish some of the stories had that same spirit and voicey-ness, but I think perhaps some of that was sacrificed in order to make the anthology accessible for all readers, which is also an admirable goal. As a result, some of the stories fell a bit flat for me, but there were some I absolutely loved, including Adam Gidwitz's story about two brothers being smuggled out of Lithuania, and Ruth Behar's piece reflecting on the different Passover traditions of her Ashkenazi and Sephardi grandparents. A solid four stars.

Absolutely adored this from start to finish. The stellar lineup of authors produced an excellent collection of stories that made me laugh, cry, and finally appreciate a story written in verse. Loved the four questions at the beginning of each segment. This book reflected the best things about Passover; family and beloved traditions. This book should be an autobuy for every house that celebrates Passover, and many that dont.

Engaging, educational middle grade collection of short stories that are very accessible to anyone to learn about Jewish traditions for Passover.

Each story is about a different aspect of Passover from a different perspective and different writer!

Going to work backwards by saying that I loved the way the acknowledgements were done. Using Who Knows One, one of my favorites parts of the Passover seder, was so creative. It fit perfectly with the way the book is laid out to follow the seder, each chapter starting with the name and description of different parts of it. Passover is my favorite holiday and I was so excited to hear about this book, it's few and far between that we get books about Jewish holidays other than Hanukkah. AJ Sass, Soifya Pasternack, and Laurel Snyder were the author's I was looking forward to most, having read their works already.

We get fourteen different outlooks on Passover and Judaism. Every character and their family has the same, if varied basis for a seder, but they all go about it a little differently. I think it does a great job showing that there's no one right way to celebrate Passover and there's no one right way to be Jewish.

Chocolate Tears lived up to its title for me. This Passover will be the first one without my grandfather and I can't even imagine how it's going to go, so this chapter got more than a few tears out out of me.

Thank you to NetGalley for making this available in exchange for an honest review!

I really enjoyed reading these stories. It's a great compilation and will be a good read for Passover.
I enjoy seeing more Jewish holiday representation in books these days.

Thanks NetGalley for this ARC.
