An exuberant and interactive picture book for grandparents and their genius, sweet, precious, SO-CUTE-I-CAN'T-STAND-IT! grandbabies, and a celebration of Yiddish and Jewish joy. For fans of Goodnight Bubbala and Leslie Patricelli.

Look at this baby . . . what a genius! And such a shayne punim, too! From the top of baby's adorable head to the tips of their toes, there's nothing for a grandma not to adore in her little bubbeleh. Sweet Babe takes babies and their bubbies, not to mention grandparents of every stripe, on a delightful read-aloud journey that practically cries out for frequent cheek-squishing and keppie (head)-kissing in this irresistible celebration of the connection between grandparent and grandchild, and of Jewish joy through the generations.

Includes a Yiddish glossary at the back with transliterated vocabulary.

Reviews for Sweet Babe: A Jewish Grandma Kvells

""This book deserves every exclamation point!! I kvelled (and giggled) my way through it. It reminded me of all my old aunties whenever a new Yolen baby was born. I laughed my tuchus off!!"" —Jane Yolen, Jewish Grandmother and author of How Do Dinosaurs Say Happy Chanukah and Owl Moon ""How well do you kvell? Robin Rosenthal’s 'Sweet Babe!' is a master class in the art of over-the-top grandparental adoration. This bubbe wears modern yoga clothes, but I think she could outkvell my great-grandmother! A diagram and Yiddish glossary at the end provide assurance that this is an educational document, in case you think it’s just a brilliantly designed, hilarious explosion of unlimited baby-love."" —Paul O. Zelinsky, Caldecott-winning author/illustrator of Rapunzel and The Wheels on the Bus and illustrator of All-of-a-Kind Family Hanukkah and Red and Green and Blue and White ""Beginning and ending with a game of peekaboo, it's a work truly focused on unadulterated kvelling, expressing cross-generational love through two sets of wide eyes and operatic text that speaks to an unalloyed bond."" —Publishers Weekly ""Joyous, uplifting, and pure fun — a perfect read for grannies babysitting their own bubbelehs."" —Kirkus Reviews
