Deli Days

A heartwarming story of growing up and finding strength in family traditions, one delicious bagel at a time.

Sundays are for family, food, and the comforting aroma of pickles at Zeyde's Deli. Step into the bustling heart of a Jewish delicatessen, where towering sandwiches are built and matzo balls are rolled almost as big as a head!

From perfectly arranged lox to the rhythmic pace of daily orders, Zeyde's Deli sits at the very heart of its community. Zeyde's grandchild loves to help on on Sundays but when things go suddenly awry, our young protagonist learns that what truly matters is not just the food, but what we do when things don't go according to plan.

​​One trip. One crash. Food everywhere. But when disaster strikes at Zeyde's deli, a grandchild discovers that making mistakes is okay--it's what happens next that counts.
