#PJ Library

[pomegranateandhoney]

PJ Library sends free high-quality Jewish children’s books to families every month. These stories spark conversations that inspire the whole family to explore and celebrate what they love about Jewish life.

The program was created by the nonprofit Harold Grinspoon Foundation (HGF) in keeping with its mission to help people connect to Jewish values, traditions, and culture while building vibrant Jewish communities. The HGF partners with local Jewish organizations to fund PJ Library and make it available in their community.

PJ Library programs are now offered in 40 countries. That’s over seven million children’s books a year being enjoyed by families around the globe. But PJ Library doesn’t just send books — it helps families to connect to, experience, and strengthen Jewish community.

See their international directory for information about PJ Library programs around the world.

Hey Jumblr,

Trying to submit a character from a.book to a tournament poll. I got the book from PJ library years ago, so maybe someone remembers the title? It had a white cover and was set in supposedly medical Europe but the king was Louis 14, who was a kid at the time. Main characters were a Jewish boy who could heal, a peasant girl who saw the future, and a really tall black boy who had super strength. They had a dog named st. Gertrude. Anyone remember this book?

HONORING JEWISH AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH!

by Danna Zeiger Dear Kidlit Community,Unfortunately, Writers’ Rumpus was not able to air this post earlier in the month for logistical reasons. For this, I would personally like to apologize to the Jewish Kidlit community, as I would have liked to have seen both AAPHI and JAHM honored together. There have been many community discussions highlighting the lack of JAHM recognition and awareness…

Writing fanfic through the eyes of a 4 y/o Jewish OC being babysat by childless senior citizens means looking at and taking screenshots of picture books I think are interesting and would be in the kid's backpack for a little pre-naptime reading from PJ Library's website. So many to choose from. So many classics. So hard to pick. These are the ones I'm deciding between:

I love how the past 2 showrunners themselves teamed up for the first time in almost exactly 16 years to give us back-to-back episodes of "the Doctor steps on something and Ruby dies"

I can't decide if I should be funny and write Cap as a leering Perv possessive kind of guy or stick closer to his personality and have him be a gentleman/chivalrous kind of guy.
