Welcome to the September 2024 Jewish Book Carnival. I hope you have a chance to check out these interesting links. Thanks for visiting Jewish Books for Kids…and More!

The Jewish Book Carnival is a monthly roundup of Jewish literary links from across the blogosphere. Sponsored by the Association of Jewish Libraries, it is hosted by a different blog each month and shares book reviews, author interviews, essays, and other blog posts about Jewish books. Visit the Jewish Book Carnival HQ for the upcoming schedule, past Carnivals, and to learn how to participate!

• This month on gilagreenwrites, 18 Jewish authors share their best writing advice.

•  At the Association of Jewish Libraries 2024 annual conference in San Diego, CA, Heidi Rabinowitz and Sheryl Stahl, hosts of the podcasts The Book of Life and Nice Jewish Books interviewed our friends and colleagues about their Jewish “emotional support books” and the results turned into this podcast episode, cross posted on both shows. Look at the Show Notes to see the cartoon that inspired us, and to enter our drawing for a podcast book bag! https://jewishbooks.blogspot.com/2024/09/our-jewish-emotional-support-books.html

• On her blog Book Q&As with Deborah Kalb, Deborah interviewed Deborah Bodin Cohen and Kerry Olitzky about their new children’s picture book, An Etrog from Across the Sea.

• On her My Machberet blog, Erika Dreifus routinely compiles news of Jewish literary interest. Here’s one recent post.

• To celebrate her new picture book CHALLAH, CHALLAH, FOR YOU AND ME, author Barbara Bietz interviews co-author June Sobel and illustrator Ruth Waters.

Thank you to all the participants! See you next month.
