Reviews for Hannah's Way

[stba_2 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

When Hannah’s teacher tries to arrange carpools for a Saturday class picnic, she is in a quandary. She cannot ride on the Sabbath, but she neither wants to miss the picnic nor draw attention to her Jewish heritage. Well researched illustrations with details of rural northern Minnesota during the Depression Era complement the story of how a child does not have to give up his or her heritage in order to fit in, a message that serves contemporary populations as well.
