Children's Books
Jewish children's books can help
young readers see the unique beauty of their culture. Multiple
studies have shown how much it helps a child's intellectual and
emotional growth, to see positive portrayals of people from their
religious and cultural background. This is especially important to
Jewish children raised in America, who are often overwhelmed by the
predominately-Christian perspective in books. Jewish children can
often feel like outsiders, and books about Jewish historical figures
and heroes augment the positive lessons learned in the home and in
the Temple.
Jewish Children's books educate children in the
rituals and traditions involved in practicing their faith, while
also entertaining them. Moreover, Jewish Children's books are not
just for children who are Jews, but can help children of all faiths
learn about another religion. Gentile children can read about new
and unfamiliar historical figures, and they can be entertained with
parables that provide lessons that are beneficial to any child.
Some children, who have been experienced prejudice and
ignorance, learn the different ways other young Jews have overcome
challenges and thrived. Jewish Children's books do more than help
boys and girls learn about their faith; the books help them fall in
love with it. Through their reading children learn that they're
special because of their religion and should feel proud. Their
reading teaches them that they are part of a long and wondrous
tradition.
