Dear Safranim, The picture book A PLACE TO PRAY written by Doreen Klein Robinson, illustrated by Yuke Li and published by Worthy Kids/Hachette Book Group is now available. *SUMMARY:* Inspired by real events, A PLACE TO PRAY tells the story of the December 5, 2020, fire at Middle Collegiate Church in NYC through the lens of fictional characters. The story centers around two friends - one Jewish and one Christian - whose congregations come together to share one place of worship after the tragic fire. A PLACE TO PRAY encourages empathy and inclusion, with themes of tikkun olam, mitzvot and tzedakah. An informative Author's Note and back matter detail the actual events that inspired the story and includes information about the New York Liberty Bell and the Yiddish Theater Walk of Fame. Please consider adding this book to your collection. If you would like to receive a digital ARC of the book, please reach out.
