Sereena's Secret Illustrated by Danna Craft Sereena is a green bird who tries to live in a tree
where only red birds are allowed to live. She covers herself with
red sand in order to be accepted. But when she has a green baby
she realizes she has to be herself, and convinces the other birds
that living with all types and colors of birds is the best thing
to do. Written in English, the book contains the original Yiddish language text, a Yiddish-English dictionary for children, and some basic Yiddish lessons. An ideal, multi-cultural book that helps children understand how prejudice detracts from the beauty of our world. David Weintraub
is Executive Director of the Dora Teitelboim Center for Yiddish
Culture in Coral Gables, Florida. The Center is in the forefront
of revitalizing and reenergizing the Yiddish language, helping to
reveal the rich Yiddish culture, language, and stories that were
once so basic to Jewish life. |
