Dear Hasafran friends- I have been doing some research about the new Newberry Award winner -- Criss Cross by Lynne Rae Perkins, described in the New York Times as "about small decisions that can change a person's life." Our Judaic library occasionally buys children's/young adults' books that are not specifically Jewish but that teach life lessons that are in accord with Jewish values and mitzvot. Does anyone out there know if this award winner might be suitable for a Jewish library? Anyone know any specific reason why it might NOT be suitable?
Thanks for your help.
