The Girl with the Red Balloon

from The Book of Life: Jewish Kidlit (Mostly)

The Girl with the Red Balloon is a magical time travel, historical fiction, kind-of-sort-of Holocaust book that won a Sydney Taylor Honor in the Teen Readers Category for 2018. I met the author, Katherine Locke, at the Association of Jewish Libraries conference in Boston, where we snuck into a side room to talk – please excuse the faint hubbub coming from outside. We discussed not only Katherine's book, but also her article on Medium.com, "Thinking about Jewish Children's Literature in a Time of anti-Semitism."
