I am pleased to announce that I have written an article for The Forward. It is entitled "Finally, Jewish kids' books are starting to reflect the diversity of Judaism." I referenced Dr. Rudine Sims Bishop's well-known metaphor about "mirrors, windows, and sliding glass doors" to explain that all children need to read Jewish books that reflect the diversity of the Jewish community, and I shared a few personal favorite titles.
You can read THE FORWARD article at https://forward.com/culture/451036/finally-jewish-kids-books-are-starting-to-reflect-the-diversity-of-judaism/ For those of you who would like to learn about additional titles, please take a look at my growing Diverse Jewish Kidlit bibliography, which you can find at https://jewishbooks.blogspot.com/p/diverse-jewish-kidlit.html. Enjoy! Heidi Rabinowitz
