This Chanukah, Give the Gift of Words

I’m delighted to be included in a lovely poster of specifically Jewish books created by Julie Zuckerman, author of The Book of Jeremiah. This Chanukah, Give the Gift of Words is the poster’s title, and Julie has thoughtfully included fiction, poetry, memoir and nonfiction, children and young adult books, as well as books about food. What could be more appropriate as a holiday gift for the people of the book?

Here is the wonderful company I find myself in. Note that the links take you primarily to the author’s or publisher’s websites, as I’m resisting sending you directly to Amazon when small independent booksellers need our support:
