  2. A Purim Story of Courage by Jane Yolen

    A Purim Story of Courage by Jane Yolen

    Micah loved the noise maker, known as a gragger, that he used at his family's Purim party. With it they celebrated the defeat of the wicked Haman, a bully from biblical times who tried to get rid of the Jews. The gragger made him feel mighty! But on his way home, the gragger was lost.

    This is the context of Mighty Micah, a new Purim picture book by bestselling author Jane Yolen.

    Micah was nervous that without his gragger, he wouldn't be able to be brave, like Queen Esther. 

    However, his gragger was powerful. It journeyed from a raccoon's hands, to a fish's mouth, to a heron's beak, back to Micah's front steps.

    Joyful at the return of his gragger, Micah takes it to school to show the class, so everyone could feel its mighty whirr, whirr, whirr, and they too could feel powerful and safe.

    Also included is a note from the author with a brief summary

  10. One Voice Can Make a Difference: New Biography about Labor Leader Rose Schneiderman

    One Voice Can Make a Difference: New Biography about Labor Leader Rose Schneiderman

    One powerful voice can effect powerful change.

    An example of that truth is the story of Rose Schneiderman, a young Jewish immigrant teen who began speaking out for better working conditions in the early 20th century.

    She was just thirteen years old, working in a cap factory in New York City when she noticed women workers earned much less than men and the factory wasn't safe or healthy for the workers. Rose helped organize 20,000 women to walk off the job, leaving factories all over the city empty and still. Following the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in 1911, Rose's speech at the Metropolitan Opera House galvanized support for better working conditions. The International Ladies Garment Workers Union was born.
