I just sent the suggestions I've received for my Jewish diversity booklist to Hasafran, but I forgot that I wanted to ask you all one more thing. I'm finding plenty of picture books, YA books, and adult books, but fewer chapter books for children that feature diverse Jews. I'm sure there are plenty, I'm just not thinking of them. The titles I've come up with are:
The Truth About My Bat Mitzvah by Nora Raleigh Baskin The Storyteller's Beads by Jane Kurtz Cry of the Giraffe by Judie Oron Stealing Home by Ellen Schwartz Please tell me any other chapter books you can think of that have some kind of diverse Jewry depicted. Also tell me if you think I'm judging wrong about the titles I've listed do any of those belong in the YA category? Thanks again, o collective brain!
