Hi, Hello, Welcome is a sweet board book from PJ Publishing, written by Chris Barash and illustrated by Rosie Butcher. The child in this story welcomes guests and greets them with a smile, a wave, and a friendly shalom. pjlibrary.org/books/hi,-hell…
Sometimes things we do make us wish we could wash our mistakes away. If you already did Tashlich (which translates to “casting off") on Rosh Hashanah, you can still use this simple activity to show how we can recognize our mistakes and work to "wash them away" in the new year.
When the boy wakes up on Shabbat, he’s ready for a day of togetherness. Since he’s blind, he uses his other senses to experience the day to its fullest. This is My Shabbat, written by Chris Barash, illustrated by Aviel Basil, published by Green Bean Books. youtu.be/VTN-b5h7BvA
For an alternative to Tashlich, the Rosh Hashanah tradition of letting go of your mistakes from the past year, use paper as the symbolic scraps and make a collage you can display as a reminder the rest of the year.

Tashlich without bread? Yes, it's possible, still just as meaningful, and in many cases more eco-friendly.

Does your family do the ritual of Tashlich? On Rosh Hashanah, many families, like the family in this book, participate in the tradition of symbolically washing away the mistakes of the past year.

ALT Illustrated book cover for Tashlich at Turtle Rock, written by Susan Schnur and Anna Schnur-Fishman, and illustrated by Alex Steele-Morgan. A pink skin family of four dressed in fall clothing stands on a bridge, with a river rushing below, hills to the right and fall leaves falling from the trees. One child grins and has their hands outstretched while the rest of the family smiles and looks on.
