Shira the Singing Puppy illustrated by Alexandra Colombo

Illustrated by Alexandra Colombo and written by Ilana R. Wieder, Shira the Singing Puppy is a picture book about Shira the puppy who loves to sing.

At doggie daycare, she sings for her doggie friends, but the people say, “Hush and shush, Shira. Not today.” She sings when Aryeh and Arielle watch TV, but the kids say, “Not today, Shira.” On Friday, while Aryeh and Arielle are setting the table for Shabbat, Shira starts to sing. Aryeh says, “Shush. Not today.” Shira wants to sing along as Aryeh and Arielle bless the candles, wine, and challah on Shabbat, but still she is shushed. But on Saturday night, the sky turns dark and it’s time for Havdalah. Is it finally time for Shira to sing?
