  Kiddo wants to go to his friend Noam’s birthday party at the trampoline park, but it’s at the same time as his cousins’ play, and cousin Emilia could really use Kiddo there to calm her nerves. Mimi reads the book Rosie Saves the World which highlights the Jewish value of mutual responsibility. Kiddo knows the trampolines would be a blast, but can he find a bounce in his step from the mitzvah of helping family first?   The book Rosie Saves the World was written by Debbie Herman, illustrated by Tammie Lyon, and is used with permission from Kar-Ben Publishing, a division of Lerner Publishing Group, Inc.   Episode Cast and Credits:   Afternoons With Mimi is a production of PJ Library.

Each Friday evening, families around the world begin the celebration of Shabbat. For many, the evening includes favorite foods, company for dinner, special songs, and blessings. This week, we have a playlist featuring stories all about Shabbat. 

If you like what you hear, be sure to visit our other shows on our PJ Library Presents network. We've got not one, not two, but three special Shabbat playlists!

Kiddo is so bored and there's nothing to do. But Mimi knows that a little creativity can cure any dull day, even when all you have is a paper towel roll. Did you know that creativity and cooperation are both Jewish values? So is being a good friend. To learn more and find picture book recommendations, visit PJLibrary.org/values for more.
