Review Quotes: ★ "Essential reading for all children--and adults--who hope for freedom for all."--Kirkus Reviews, starred review

★ "Michelson goes back to 2008, to three lonely presidential campaign workers who gathered in a dingy meeting room in Harrisburg with a package of matzo, two cans of macaroons, and a bottle of Manischewitz for a Passover seder. There came a sudden knock at the door, and in walked not Elijah but Barack Obama. . . . As the original trio writes in a collective closing note, the 'purpose of Passover is to tell the story of freedom in your own way and in your time."--Booklist, starred review

"With its gentle text and watercolor illustrations, "Next Year in the White House" offers an intimate glimpse of a significant moment of interfaith dialogue."--The Washington Post
