Sita Brahmachari

Summary

Twelve-year-old Mira comes from a chaotic, artistic, and outspoken family in
which it’s not always easy to be heard. As her beloved Nana Josie's health

clearly hiding a troubled past. As Mira is experiencing grief for the first time,

incredibly insightful, honest novel exploring the delicate balance—and often
injustice—of life and death. But at its heart, it's a celebration of friendship,
culture—and life.

The Wooden Sword

A Jewish Folktale from Afghanistan
Ann Redisch Stampler, Carol Liddiment

Summary

Disguised in servant’s clothes, an Afghani shah slips out of his palace to learn
more about his people. When he encounters a poor Jewish shoemaker full of
faith that everything will turn out just as it should, the shah grows curious.
Vowing that no harm will befall the poor man, he decides to test that faith,
only to find that the shoemaker’s cheerful optimism cannot be shaken. But
the biggest challenge of the poor man’s life is yet to come! Ann Stampler’s
retelling of this classic Afghani Jewish folktale is enriched by Carol Liddiment’s
charming and vivid paintings.
