A stylish, current, and perfectly young Diasporic celebration of Jews around the world!

This modern and whimsical Jewish-themed series is the first of its kind to incorporate both Jewish traditions and Jewish culture, offering a truly representative and current depiction of Judaism. How Do You Jew? introduces readers to Jewish traditions from around the world, validating the varied experiences of Jewish readers and celebrating the global Jewish community.

Author and artist Suzy Ultman melds her own Jewish upbringing with her current trendsetting aesthetic to create a much-needed series of gorgeous, appealing, and deceptively simple books that will stand out on any table or shelf amidst the sea of blue and gold painterly Jewish-themed books that precede these.
Suzy Ultman has been creating toys and books for family and friends since childhood. A born storyteller, Suzy is an illustrator, product designer, toy creator, and bookmaker of sophisticated and simple objects that inspire and delight. Suzy’s signature products center connection, community, and finding your place within our global family. When she isn’t in her studio folding paper, designing textiles, or creating toys, she can be found strolling through antique shops, finding treasures at flea markets, and communing with nature.
