They sleep on garlic cloves, bathe in garlic juice and dress in garlic peels, and they are very happy there until a hungry mole tears through the roof and sends them up into the daylight to look for somewhere new. The world above ground isn't sure what to make of a family that smells this strongly of garlic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSafer tells it as a folktale, with a longer text and earthy illustrations that reward slow reading. The story is rooted in Jewish experiences of diaspora, and the back of the book carries an author's note on that history, a glossary of the Yiddish words in the story and a recipe for the family's favourite soup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardcover\u003cbr\u003eAges 6–8\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Somewhere","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47028279902255,"sku":null,"price":35.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0072\/7285\/7647\/files\/TheGarlicEaters-1.jpg?v=1792636347","url":"https:\/\/www.parkette.ca\/products\/the-garlic-eaters","provider":"Parkette.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
