Fanny Goldstein immigrated to America from Russia when she was six. She loved the fact that in her new country she could borrow books for free and take part in all kinds of activities at the Saturday Evening Girls Club. Right away, her curiosity attracted the notice of the club's founder, who was also the head of the Boston Public Library. It wasn't long before Fanny was hired as the librarian's assistant, and then at thirty-three, as the first Jewish director of a Boston branch library. And when Fanny noticed how rarely Jewish families checked out books about their own history, she had an idea that would influence libraries and readers for decades to come: She decided to host a week-long party to celebrate Jewish books and culture. It was such a success that it launched a national event which has continued for 100 years!

Recensioni della critica
A National Jewish Book Award Finalist
A Sydney Taylor Book Award Notable Title
★"Russell's illustrations evoke the period and Jewish themes without being too literal and make Fanny a recognizable character. The book's text is cleverly and largely based on historical sources, showing that Fanny saw books as a way to develop knowledge and pride in one's own culture as well as a way to connect with others.”—Booklist, starred review
"Russell’s emotive art and Michelson’s earnestly expressed text reflect Fanny’s quiet, optimistic perseverance and deep appreciation for the people around her; Michelson’s insights on the importance of books as windows and mirrors feel especially relevant in light of the threats currently facing stories by and about marginalized creators. A timeless and timely tribute to the enduring power of literature and libraries to build bridges." —Kirkus
"Well-researched and beautifully illustrated. Soft, historically accurate illustrations lead readers through the biographical content as Goldstein grows. A true pioneer of inclusion, Fanny’s story represents respect for all cultures, not just her own. A pleasant biographical introduction to an amazing woman and a good selection for a well-rounded collection." —School Library Journal
"With warmhearted, portrait-focused digital cartooning from debut creator Russell, this picture book biography is a fitting commemoration of Goldstein’s Jewish pride and tenacious, bridge-building spirit—and a timely reminder of libraries’ import." —Publishers Weekly
