NewSouth has asked that I share with this group its offer to send any
interested AJL librarian an electronic galley of Greenhorn, my illustrated
novel for young readers that NewSouth published in December about a young
Holocaust survivor who arrives at a Brooklyn yeshiva in the 1940s with only a
small box that he won't let out of his sight.
Greenhorn is a tough story, but NewSouth believes the book has much to say both
to young readers and to the adult community, and has made a free Discussion
Guide for families and a Classroom Guide for teachers available from its
website www.newsouthbooks.com/greenhorn. The Discussion Guide is based on
questions created by Marcia Weiss Posner, Ph.D., librarian and program director
at the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County, New York.
Before the book was delayed at the printer in Asia, and again in a New Jersey
warehouse after Hurricane Sandy, I had written a "Soapbox Essay" about how
Greenhorn came to be written and published, which appeared in Publishers Weekly:

And some of you may be interested in a blog interview I recently participated
in about changing a "fact" of the story I heard (Greenhorn is based on a true
story), something I struggled with as I wrote the book.

Please email me if you would like an electronic galley (PDF) of Greenhorn.
NewSouth hopes that some of you will want to include the book in a display of
library resources for Yom Hashoah.
Thank you.
