A

n Only Kid, a work by

Huntington Woods artist Lynne
Avadenka, conveys the Passover
story of "Chad Gadya," an alle-
gorical tale that uses a goat to explore the
theme of redemption. The art book, con-

goat hair interwoven in the image and a
full-spread illustration that includes many
animals amid Hebrew lettering.
Avadenka is the only Michigan artist
represented in the traveling exhibition
