2021 Sydney Taylor Notable Book!

I’m so happy to share that Beni’s War was named a Sydney Taylor Notable Book! There were so many incredible books that were published this year and I’m so thrilled that Beni’s War was recognized.

The Association of Jewish Libraries is a prestigious and discerning body that looks for the best of Jewish children’s literature.

Beni’s win is extra sweet given that it is a companion to The Six-Day Hero, which was also recognized by the committee. This means both of the Laor brothers get to strut around the strees of 1960’s and 1970’s Israel with a shiny metal on their covers. :)
