I hope you Safranim are all aware of The Sydney Taylor Shmooze, the mock award blog for the Sydney Taylor Book Award. This is an AJL project, but separate from the award committee, and current committee members may not participate on the blog.
Jewish kidlit reviews are posted each week, and at the turn of the year, everyone is invited to vote for the books they think will win the REAL award! You can visit the blog at https://www.sydneytaylorshmooze.com/ If you have any experience reviewing children's literature, we invite you to become a reviewer for The Shmooze! You can apply to participate at https://www.sydneytaylorshmooze.com/p/reviewers.html In July, the blog reviewed these books: Worse and Worse on Noah's Ark by Leslie Kimmelman Itzhak: A Boy Who Loved the Violin by Tracy Newman Shalom Bayit by Linda Elovitz Marshall Havdalah Is Coming by Tracy Newman The Boy Who Thought Outside the Box: The Story of Video Game Inventor Ralph Baer by Marcie Wessels Have You Ever Seen a Ziz? by Linda Elovitz Marshall They Went Left by Monica Hesse Buen Shabat, Shabbat Shalom by Sarah Aroeste Louder Than Words by Kathy Kacer Enjoy!
