Uh-oh! by Jenny Kjærbo
Order in English. Order in Yiddish.
Uh-oh! (in Yiddish: Gevald!) tells the story of a wayward young puffin who has a series of misadventures when he is left in charge of his baby brother’s egg. Translated into English by Jordan Kutzik and into Yiddish by Arun Viswanath, this charming metaphor for a child learning to accept a younger sibling will delight readers young and old. Featuring Kjærbo’s delightful illustrations, Kinder-Loshn Publication is proud to be bringing this Faroese book to a wider audience in Yiddish and English.
