Ex­cellent pho­tographs and sweet­ly chrono­log­i­cal events cap­ture the thrilling expe­ri­ence of wel­com­ing a new baby, one way for girls, flip! the oth­er way for boys, each ver­sion meet­ing in the mid­dle with the same con­clud­ing pho­to­graph. Cer­e­monies for enfold­ing a new child into Judaism dif­fer on a gen­der basis by reli­gious tra­di­tion. Here they each end up in at-home cel­e­bra­tions, named (nice­ly in Hebrew and Eng­lish), includ­ed in com­mu­ni­ty, blessed and rejoiced. Fam­i­ly and fes­tiv­i­ties arrive through the eyes of the old­er sis­ter who is equal­ly as hap­py with a new baby sis­ter as a new baby broth­er.
