Debra's Reviews > Joyful Song: A Naming Story

Leslea Newman has done it, again! She has created a wonderfully diverse story of a family excited to welcome their daughter to the community with a naming ceremony. The family is walking to Shabbat services and as they are greeted by neighbors the son, now big brother, is inviting them to come along. On the Bimah his sister's name will be spoken in public for the first time. The joy is palpable and the support of the community for this celebration of life is stunning. Yes, it brought me to tears.

Kudos to Leslea Newman and Susan Gal for this book, Joyful Song! It is perfect!
