The creation of humankind begins with Nuwa, a lonely young goddess, a handful of clay, and a single "hello" in this vibrant and touching tale inspired by Chinese mythology. Many years ago, when the world was still young, Nüwa was the only person on Earth. She loved to play with the fish and the birds, but she longed for someone to talk to. Then one day, Nüwa found a way to create a friend, and when this new little person said, "Hello," something magical happened.... This beautiful story demonstrates the importance of language, community, and communication.

The rabbi's son, Abi, has a habit of getting in trouble. It's not on purpose, and usually, they're harmless accidents. But this time, Abi has stolen a scroll from the synagogue--to practice his Hebrew!--and is not ready for what, or rather, who will show up at his front door as a result. The golems Abi summons may look monstrous, but we soon learn they are only there to help! With beloved author Jane Yolen's signature wit and delightful illustrations by Maya Shleifer, Too Many Golems conveys the unexpected joy of magical accidents and the importance of being a good neighbor to all.
