Barefoot Books are always beautifully produced, and The Barefoot Book of Jewish Tales is no exception. These delightful retellings of eight Jewish folktales are true to the original source material. Accompanied by appealing illustrations, the book can be read independently by our seven- and eight-year-old subscribers or shared with the whole family, sparking rewarding conversations about Jewish values. The list of sources at the back will enable interested children to explore further, or to compare these retellings with other versions of the stories. It’s an added bonus that Shoshana Boyd Gelfand is our first PJ Library author to be based in the UK!
