Dear Book of Life Listeners, I am so pleased to bring you this new episode of The Book of Life, featuring a joint interview with authors Joanne Levy (Fish Out of Water) and Evan Wolkenstein (Turtle Boy). I paired them to highlight the similar themes I saw in both middle grade bar mitzvah novels, and wonderfully, Joanne and Evan hit it off and helped to interview each other!
You can hear the episode at https://jewishbooks.blogspot.com/2020/10/pond-life-fish-out-of-water-turtle-boy.html, where you can also find a transcript and links to lots more information. Please share this podcast with your friends and colleagues! And please let me know what you think of the episode. In other news, I recently published a print interview on The Book of Life blog with Miriam Udel, editor and translator of Honey on the Page: A Treasury of Yiddish Children's Literature. You can read it at https://jewishbooks.blogspot.com/2020/10/honey-on-page.html. And I was a guest on the Rad Child Podcast! They had an episode on Judaism in general <https://www.radchildpodcast.com/show-notes/season-2-episode-5-judaism>, and an episode on Jewish kidlit <https://www.radchildpodcast.com/show-notes/way-to-go-amp-room-to-grow-judasim-feat-heidi-rabinowiz> (that's the one where I appeared). Thanks to co-hosts Seth and Rebecca for having me on! Enjoy! Heidi P.S. Watch for upcoming Book of Life specials later in October - your favorite Jewish kidlit authors will talk to you about VOTING!
