Jewish Joy and the 'Little Women' of the Lower East Side | Opinion
When they were first published, Sydney Taylor’s books not only planted a flag for Jewish identity but also for Jewish joy, and today remind readers that Alcott's March sisters haven't cornered the market on getting by on love and little else. For Women's History Month, we remind readers of Sydney Taylor's origin story.
The Last Stand
A self-described love letter, this pairs perfectly with Maria Gianferrari’s Thank a Farmer for classroom units or story hours on food and community.

A Pocketful of Stars
A nearly perfect older tween, early teen tale, with best friend realignments and romance moving in from the horizon, plus mother-daughter fireworks for the ages. A recommended read.
Forever and Always
So understated that it’s sure to give flight to discussions, this book offers a reality right out of the headlines, but by leaving it child-sized has a huge impact. A necessary title.
A Grand Idea: How William J. Wilgus Created Grand Central Terminal
A charming tale, and to think it’s all true! Whether readers are train and construction buffs or not, this is a living, breathing biography of a building, and the man who believed in it from the ground up. Extraordinary.
Small Shoes, Great Strides: How Three Brave Girls Opened Doors to School Equality
Caution any readers taking this on alone about content; it’s brutal, enlightening, hopeful, and realistic. An important piece of history, the book is a treasure and will require classroom discussion.

Little Pumpkin, Where’s Your Light?
This is a charmer, alright, with simple shapes, digitally drawn and colored, to fill up toddlers’ eyes and nothing spooky to spoil the mood of gentle friendship and celebrations.

Julius
Color-drenched acrylic paintings and outsized proportions provide humor and affection in equal doses. Readers will want to settle in for a second read.
