Reviews: “What a sensitively written and beautifully illustrated book for parents, grandparents and educators to share with children! Ellen Bari’s simple yet moving story coupled with exquisite line drawings by Avi Katz make The Tattered Prayerbook an age-appropriate resource for younger readers. No graphic violence is depicted. A nonthreatening yet accurate picture of the historical era is conveyed. The warmth and rich traditions of Jewish family life are experienced. In a world sadly still characterized by prejudice, hate, and discrimination, our students can instead be taught respect, tolerance, and a responsible, humane citizenship. With the power and desire to change life for the better, our children remain our hope for the future.” - Dr. Margaret Lincoln, the District Librarian for Lakeview Schools in Battle Creek, Michigan, has served as a Teacher Fellow with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. “Read this book with your children, grandchildren, and students. Our children can learn that respect for all will insure that hate will not breed violence. The Tattered Prayer Book is an opportunity to take that first step." - Michael Berenbaum, Director, Professor of Jewish Studies of American Jewish University, Sigi Ziering Institute - Exploring the Ethical and Religious Implications of the Holocaust.
