Telling the Story: A Passover Haggadah Explained »

Barry Louis Polisar has written numerous children’s books, poems, stories, and songs, including Noises from Under the Rug, Old Enough to Know Better, and Stolen Man. He travels throughout the United States and Europe as a visiting author in schools and libraries, and his songs and stories can be heard on radio and television. He lives in Silver Spring, Maryland.

Authentic and simple, this retelling of the Passover story in the Haggadah is designed to guide Passover participants through the Seder while educating them about the practice. Detailing the meaning of the ceremony in the past and present, the book also discusses the authenticity of the ceremony and the story, allowing those with little or no experience conducting a Seder to do so with confidence. A phonetic version of the Hebrew text is also included to aid those unfamiliar with Hebrew pronunciation.
