Holiday Highlights: The Best New Passover Books
LISTEN TO THE PODCAST | READ THE TRANSCRIPT
🕮 Regular listeners will remember my friend Susan Kusel, a librarian/bookseller/author who partners with me frequently to promote Jewish children's literature. In this episode, we discuss Holiday Highlights, a project we set up through the Association of Jewish Libraries. Our expert committee, Amy Lilien-Harper, Robbin Friedman, and Sylvie Shaffer, compile seasonal Holiday Highlights lists representing the best Jewish children's holiday books each Spring and Fall. We tell you all about the project, and about the amazing Passover picture books on the Spring 2022 Holiday Highlights list.
Why were we both wearing tiaras during our Zoom call? You'll have to listen to the episode to find out.
