On July 31, Capstone released my books, We Gather at a Jewish Synagogue: A Place in Our Community and Yom Kippur, and I received my author copies today! Both books are part of larger series that cover world religions. The “Where We Gather” series explores customs, traditions, anthropology, and architecture at a K-3 interest level and a first- through second-grade reading level. Yom Kippur is part of the “Traditions and Celebrations” series, which covers religious customs and traditions at a K-3 interest level and a second- through third-grade reading level. I love that Capstone embraces inclusivity and recognizing similarities through our differences. When children learn about other cultures and communities, the world becomes a more accepting place, where curiosity blossoms into knowledge.
