I’m so pleased to announce that I’m the kidlit editor for Judith Magazine. Judith Magazine is a new online magazine that aims to help counter antisemitism in the literary world and also help spread some much-needed Jewish joy.
Choosing that first book to feature was no small task. I can’t wait to share it!
I’m currently working on setting up a schedule for upcoming months. I’m looking for picture books, middle grade, and YA books with Jewish content. And while there are so many great Jewish kidlit books out there, I’m primarily focusing on new books (from September 2023 onwards). I aim to include a fair balance of titles from mainstream and Jewish publishers.
I would also like books that either explicitly or thematically cover Jewish holidays to feature in the weeks preceding holidays.
And my daughter’s bat mitzvah is in February so I also NEED a bat mitzvah book!
Please send me your books or recommendations. The Jewish kidlit world (and the kidlit world generally) has been so good to me so I’m eager to give back.
