In honor of Jewish American Heritage Month and Asian Pacific American Heritage Month (both May), The Book of Life podcast has an interview about the Jewish Chinese family in the middle grade novel Not Your All-American Girl (the companion to This Is Just a Test). I spoke to co-authors Madelyn Rosenberg and Wendy Wan-Long Shang about how they write together, about racial justice, and about hula hoops.
You can listen to the podcast here (you'll also find a transcript in case you prefer to read rather than listen): https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://jewishbooks.blogspot.com/2021/05/not-your-all-american-girl.html__;!!KGKeukY!i_G6RGdS1IBOxv_pCFDz9LIofDWR-5OsW_uP-C2hhpDzzpM39wqe1T5mN52-dnX5opfI88Ok2ggBrGo$ In other news: The Book of Life will have a free Live Show on Wednesday May 26 at 7pm ET, in partnership with the Jewish Grandparents Network. Guests will be Esther Safran Foer (matriarch of the very literary Safran Foer family) author of I Want You To Know We're Still Here: A Post-Holocaust Memoir, along with her teenage granddaughter Sadie.

Thanks so much, Heidi
