[aisle] Judaic books on diversity / diverse topics

[Todd Freer]

Hi Andie,
Personally, I have not yet checked them. I'm working with a team who very well might be knowledgeable about them. I will be sure to ask.

Additionally, I'll suggest the titles you mentioned.

I thank you!

Hi Todd,
Have you checked AJL and/or Sydney Taylor awards?

Offhand, here's a few I can think of a few middle grade novels:

Turtle Boy (struggling with surgeries and bullying from a facial deformity -- fiction, but based on the author's childhood)
Lucky Broken Girl  (a multicultural coming-of-age novel about the author's experience as a Cuban-Jewish immigrant in the 1960s).
The Length of a String (biracial identities and adoption).

Best,
Andie

Greetings and Shana Tova (happy new year),

I am wondering if anyone can send me titles related to diversity and Judaism? (This can include different sects of Judaism but does not have to.)

These books will be for grades K - 8, and perhaps high schoolers/adults as well, but 5-8 is my main target audience.

Resources, suppliers, and collection development ideas would also be greatly appreciated.

Feel free to email me on or off list.

Thank you,
—Todd
