Hi Amy, the article you are looking for was in Mosaic. Here is my response to the article on my own blog, and I included the link back to the Mosaic article: https://jewishbooks.blogspot.com/2016/11/response-to-jewish-kidlit-article-in.html
Heidi Rabinowitz From: Hasafran [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Amy Turim Sent: Tuesday, November 29, 2016 12:01 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [ha-Safran] searching for an article Sometime over the last month or two I saw an article online about the poor quality of Jewish children's books. The piece opened with the low-hanging fruit, blasting SHMELF THE HANUKKAH ELF. A google search indicates criticisms from a variety of publishers and reviewers on that title, but the article was about a broader trend. I'd like to re-read it and discuss the piece with some friends but I'm unable to find it. Can anyone direct me to its source? Many thanks, Amy Turim Temple Emanuel Kensington, MD [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> ________________________________ [Avast logo]<https://www.avast.com/antivirus> This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. www.avast.com<https://www.avast.com/antivirus>
