If you need a gift for a new parent, this blessing of a book is the one. In In Every Life, Marla Frazee’s awesome art parallels the call and response of a baby naming prayer in all its beauty and wonder from opening vignette to astonishing closing spread. (Beach Lane Books, 2023) #kidlit #newbaby

With the encouragement of his wife Rachel, the poor shepherd Akiva learned to read at age 40, then to study Torah. After years away from his wife, he became Rabbi Akiva, Judaism’s greatest teacher and sage. Yevgenia Nayberg’s beautiful art enhances the tale. #JacquelineJules #JewishJoy #kidlit

Doña Gracia, a woman and a Jew in 16th C. Portugal, used her wealth to help fellow secret Jews escape the king and the Spanish Inquisition. Gorgeous art accompanies this story of bravery, defiance, and heroism - just right for our times. This bio belongs in every school library. #JewishHistory #PB

When King Solomon admits he doesn’t always know how to comfort a sad citizen or humble a proud one, Ezra, his servant boy, tries to help. Little does he know that a gold ring has the answer. With amazing art by D. Yael Bernhard, this is a hopeful & uplifting tale for our times. #JewishJoy #PB
