Where Is Poppy?

A young Jewish child learns to work through grief with the help of family, memory, and tradition in this heartwarming Passover story by Sydney Taylor Honor-winning author Caroline Kusin Pritchard.

It's Passover time and everything seems the same, but there's one major problem. Poppy is gone. And it's just not Passover without Poppy. Mama says he's still here, and Aunty says to keep looking, but where? This young child searches and searches but can't find Poppy anywhere.

All of Poppy's favorite people are here though, and so are the special traditions he taught them. Suddenly she starts to realize that maybe, just maybe, Poppy is here, too...and always will be.
