This is a fantastic book about the intersection of Black and Jewish history in America. Reading this book I felt that I learned a bit about both histories. A very great book, although it does cover intense subjects for some children.

Minor: Kidnapping and Violence
veganemelda's review
3.0
I had high hopes for this, as it was the only book I found that had a multicultural Jewish family (besides a few centering on adoption), but I felt that the story dragged in places and was definitely too much (kidnapping, slavery, etc.) for the age of children I read to (not that you can't talk to young children about those topics, my time with them is just too short). An older child might find it more fascinating.
