Summary
Every Sunday in winter, spring, summer and fall - through snow, rain, heat and gloom - Zaida delivers bagels to his neighbours and to his grandson, Eli. Warm, chewy, salty bagels. But their Sunday tradition comes to a halt when… a slip on some schmutz (grime) leaves Zaida flat on his touches (bum) and bedridden - and bagel-less! Who will bring the bagels if Zaida's not well in time for next Sunday's delivery? Told with a schmear of love and baked with humour, "The Bagel King" celebrates family tradition and the special bond between grandparent and grandchild. Grades K-3. 2018.
