Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Stories of Heaven and Earth
Diane Goetz Person · 2005
65/100
👎 Skip It
A thoughtful scholarly work that bridges children's literature and Jewish biblical tradition, grounded in solid folklore theory. Its audience is narrow — librarians, educators, and religious scholars — and it is not a children's book despite its pillar tag. Worth knowing about if you work in religious education or children's library science; otherwise too specialized to broadly recommend.
