Winner of the Sydney Taylor Book Award and the National Jewish Book Award, Welcoming Elijah by celebrated author Lesléa Newman, unites a young boy and a stray kitten in a warm, lyrical story about Passover, family, and friendship.

Inside, a boy and his family sit around the dinner table to embrace the many traditions of their Passover Seder around the dinner table. Outside, a cat wonders, hungry and alone. When it's time for the symbolic Passover custom of opening the family's front door for the prophet Elijah, both the boy and the cat are in for a remarkable surprise.

Read an Excerpt

Inside, there was laughter. Outside, there was silence. 
Inside, a boy hugged his family. Outside, a kitten sat alone. 
Inside, the boy waited for the Seder to start. Outside, the kitten waited for the moon to rise. 
Tonight would be different from all other nights. The boy knew this. The kitten did, too.
