Abstract

This article offers a little (bissel) taste (tam) of Jewish children's literature resources. For many public and school libraries, the predominance of Holocaust literature published in the past ten to twenty years has, understandably, influenced selection of Jewish children's literature. The focus of this article is on some of the additional resources and titles available to librarians and teachers who seek to broaden their students' understanding of the breadth of Jewish life and experiences. As this is a smattering, it is by no means comprehensive, and additional readings are suggested.
