    Becca helps her grandmother fulfill a lifelong dream during a vacation packed with "bucket list" fun in this endearing and lively summertime picture book.

    After Becca learns the term “bucket list” from her grandmother, she decides to make her own summer bucket list, packed with everything from swimming in the ocean for the first time to baking turtle-shaped challah. But in between a water-balloon fight and a rooftop sleepover, she also has a plan to help Bubbe check an item off her bucket list. 

    Peppered with Yiddish and Hebrew words and full of affection, this is a joyful and inspiring story that's perfect for family sharing.
    "Straightforward, companionable narration fluently interweaves Hebrew and Yiddish vocabulary, and flattened ink drawings, softly colored with digital markers, have an everyday quality." —Publishers Weekly

    "Gehl’s lively text evokes an intergenerational relationship characterized by trust, joy, and tenderness. Rich with background details, Baker’s lovely, soft-hued illustrations depict a fully realized urban landscape, populated by a diverse community. Sure to have readers verklempt." —Kirkus

    “A touching testimony to the power of maternal relationships and community. Highly recommended.”—School Library Journal, starred review
