Hanukkah Read Up!


 


AJL has created “Hanukkah Read Up!,” a list of Hanukkah books for children recommended by the Sydney Taylor Book Award committee. The colorful 2-page flyer is available on the AJL website at http://tinyurl.com/AJLhanukkah. All the titles on the list have been recognized by the award committee as gold or silver medalists or as “Notable Books.” A special section is devoted to the Hanukkah works of prolific author Eric A. Kimmel, a past Sydney Taylor Body-of-Work Award winner.

The list should prove interesting and useful for families seeking Hanukkah titles for their children, to read together or buy as gifts, as well as for librarians who wish to purchase titles for their holiday shelves.

  3. Hi there! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could find
    a captcha plugin for my comment form? I'm using the same blog platform as yours and I'm having problems finding one?
    Thanks a lot!

  4. This is such an endearing blog you have here. A collection of Jewish books and Hanukkah reads is a marvelous idea. I am an author myself and I totally agree with you that meeting people, hearing out opinions and giving reviews is a great experience. Having such a collection for children is great because books are a good medium to make kids understand Jewish culture. And I absolutely love the titles you have gathered on your blog.
