We have a 3rd grader who is not happy about coming to Hebrew school. He lives in a far outlying suburb and since most of his friends are not Jewish, they don't have to go to Hebrew school. So he tells his parents that he doesn't want to be Jewish. Other than Confessions of a Closet Catholic, which is a little too old for him and has a female protagonist (but would otherwise be perfect!) can you recommend any books with a theme of pride in being Jewish? Avrum's Gift is at least age appropriate and about a boy, but it really doesn't do the trick, either. Thanks. Debbie Colodny Sefer, So Good 1141 Garfield Av.
