Celebrate All Families

Every Type of Mishpacha (Family)
Families come in all sorts of shapes, sizes, and configurations, and of course, we have books reflecting that diversity.

Jewish Values in Pride Month
June is LGBTQ+ Pride Month, a call for allies to speak out for this community in the spirit of v’ahavta l’rei’acha kamocha (loving your neighbor as yourself). Explore this value and others during Pride Month and every month after.

Best Summer Ever

Stories for Overnight Campers
Summer's here, and that means summer camp! We have camp-themed reading lists with picture books and middle-grade titles, and a Mad Libs-style game to make up a silly packing list.

Beat the Heat
Check out these summer reading tips so the stories don't stop, and easy outdoor activities to keep everyone busy.
