"Liz Kleinrock was at a #writers retreat in 2021 when the idea came to her for a #children’s #book about notable #Jews from #diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds.
She immediately texted Caroline Kusin Pritchard, another children’s book #author with whom she had struck up a friendship on Instagram a year earlier, and asked her: Would you do this with me?
“It was impossible to say no,” Kusin Pritchard, a Stanford graduate who lived in the Bay Area for 18 years before moving to Virginia last year, told J. in a joint interview with Kleinrock over Zoom. “Any project with Liz is a dream. And this book in particular is so deeply needed.”
“What #Jewish Looks Like,” which comes out Sept. 24, spotlights 36 Jewish “heroes” who have “changed our world for the better,” the #authors write in the introduction."
