From Booklist
Sophie is piqued about being upstaged by her newborn brother, so her family wisely focuses on her important role as big sister. When Sophie grows agitated by talk about her brother's pending bris (ritual circumcision), she is told about the Simchat Bat that was held in honor of her arrival. With so much love and understanding, it's no wonder she takes to heart the words she hears at the bris about helping the baby grow into a good Jewish man: "This ceremony is a symbol of our promise." After the bris, Sophie starts to fulfill her promise: holding baby Benny for the first time, she begins her teaching by singing to him one of the silly songs his namesake, Papa Benny, used to sing to her. In this brief, engaging story, Wilkowski imparts the essence of the Jewish heritage and the links between generations as she introduces a subject infrequently mentioned in children's books, wrapping it in a warm story rooted in the universals of sibling relationships. Friedman's soft pastel paintings beautifully reflect the warmth and love of Sophie's family and their Jewish traditions. Ellen Mandel
