Oh good! I was hoping you’d seen this, Marjorie. Had you not commented here I would have sent you an email myself to bug you to read it. I believe this’ll fly abso-friggin’-lutely everywhere. As my friend Lori says, I lurve it.

Betsy, thanks so much for your perspective. I liked it too (especially the art and as you say, the layouts) but wasn’t sure how it would fly with people unfamiliar with Orthodox Judaism…or with actual children. But Josie (age 8 — Jewish but not Orthodox) took it off my desk and read it twice, back to back. She loved it.
