Based on the award-winning children’s album of the same name, the illustrated children’s book Ora de Despertar (“Time to Wake Up”) is an all-original bilingual story in Ladino (Judeo-Spanish) and English that highlights rituals of the morning and what to be thankful for upon waking up. With the backdrop of the Hebrew Modeh Ani prayer, the book offers a way for families to get a fresh look at Sephardic culture and the relevance of Ladino in Judaism today. Interweaving the languages throughout bright;y colored pages and scenes, the book shows a joyous picture of contemporary Jewish diversity. Meant for children ages 0 – 5.
