For Younger Readers Until that day comes, here are some books celebrating Jewish icons and Jewish queer kids and families. Or how about a beautiful, educational, and appetizing Jewish children’s book about Jewish food historian Michael Twitty? There’s just so much good material out there for more literature to inspire our Jewish kids - and they deserve it. I’d love some books celebrating these Jewish icons.Īnd, while we’re at it, how about some diverse and queer Jewish children’s books? I’d love for my son to have something read to him about the Jewish wisdom of Rabbi Sandra Lawson. From Magnus Hirschfeld to Harvey Milk to Edith Windsor, Jews have been intricately tied to groundbreaking LGBT activism. Honestly, I’m a bit sad at how sparse and not Jewish this list is when we have so many amazing queer Jewish icons to look up to. Pride month - June - is almost over, but celebrating Jewish LGBTQIA+ voices should be a year-round thing! So we’ve collected some terrific Jewish and Jew-ish LGBTQ children’s books for all ages. We are republishing it today in celebration of Pride month. Editor’s note: This piece was originally published on June 29, 2020. ![]()
