Abstract When someone vandalizes her synagogue, Leila's community comes together to repair the damage and stand against Antisemitism and intolerance.
Abstract Leila loves going to Hebrew school, and hearing stories of mighty kings and quick-witted queens. Being Jewish is a part of her story and learning Hebrew connects her to her ancestors. L'dor V'dor! From one generation to the next! But when Leila's synagogue gets vandalized, she isn't sure she wants to be Jewish. It makes her feel different. She doesn't want to stand out if it means people won't like her. Then Leila's classmates and community come together to repair the synagogue. This compassionate gesture makes Leila realize that everyone around her is different--and that's a beautiful thing. Lyrical text and gorgeous, textured collage art make a powerful statement in this uplifting story based on an event from the author's childhood. Back matter, including a glossary and an author's note, provided a springboard for age-appropriate conversations about hate crimes, anti-Semitism, and bridge-building between cultures. -- Provided by publisher.
