Vroman’s Bookstore: Jenna Rothberg reads from & signs Deli Days
At Zeyde’s Deli, Sundays mean helping Grandpa serve the neighborhood’s best pastrami on rye.
One moment you’re carrying a tray of the deli’s famous sandwiches. The next, you’re standing in a sea of broken cookies and scattered sprinkles while the lunch rush stares. But right there in the chaos, a grandchild learns what family tradition really means–and that sometimes the best memories come from our biggest messes. A warm, funny story about growing up one matzo ball at a time.
Perfect for:
- Families: Looking for a heartwarming story about intergenerational bonds, cultural heritage, and the joy of shared meals.
- Educators: Seeking an engaging way to introduce themes of tradition, resilience, and the historical significance of community spaces like delis.
- Young Readers: Who love stories about food, family, and discovering their place in a cherished tradition.
Deli Days is a celebration of tradition, resilience, delicious food and even better company.
