This book is a study of potential, perceived, and real conflicts and similarities between market economics and Jewish social justice. The book's ultimate focus is on public policy issues. In the first two chapters, the author presents the conceptual and theoretical foundations of market economics and Jewish social justice. Subsequent chapters analyze minimum wage, immigration, climate change, and usury from both market economics and Jewish social justice perspectives, discussing conflicts, and, if they exist, similarities.

Mischievous Robert Morris Reynolds can't even say his name right. His "r's" come out as "w's"-until a wise speech therapist promises him a special rock when he can pronounce the word "rock" properly. Robert's struggle to earn that rock leads him to become aware of other's feelings.

"Characterizations are superb; even minor characters are portrayed with depth and roundness unusual in such a brief, accessible novel." The Horn Book

"An amiable slice-of-life story. Economically told and often touching, this is a good portrait of a good- and brave- boy." The Bulletin of the Center of Children's Literature

A true story about a lovable little rabbit and the things that make him happy. Jamie's Garden is a happy book that your children will ask you to read again and again. Jamie will bring a smile to their face and yours too Fully illustrated by artist Winston Starling. About the author: As a long time rabbit owner, I have experienced the joys and laughter from raising rabbits and seeing their individual personalities as they grow. Some are shy and others are very outgoing. Jamie was a special and very intelligent little guy. He continues to bring joy to everyone he meets. I have been blessed to have him in my life Share his true story with your child. They won't be disappointed About the Illustrator: Being a good artist mostly means you have the patience to keep erasing until you get it right. Ever since I was very young, I have always been drawing something. Seeing pictures in books, or watching a movie would cause me to grab a pencil and paper and start scribbling out my own version of what I had seen. Encouraged by my parents, especially my Mom, I continued to explore the world of art. Although I have never had any formal art training, I have devoured quite a few art, drawing, and anatomy books. Now, at age twenty-eight, and after much experimentation and practice, I have finally settled into what I think is a unique illustrative style. My major inspirations have been the works of Norman Rockwell, classic pin-up artists such as Gil Elvgren, and vintage advertising and illustration art of the early to mid-twentieth century.

Ten-year-old Carrie O'Connor has lots of questions.

Where does her mother, a famous New York children's writer, find ideas for her best-selling Michael Madigan series? Why does her father, a busy surgeon, sometimes spend more time curing people than caring for her? How would her life change if she landed a role in a play directed by a Broadway director?

Carrie unwraps the answers in a Junior Library Guild selection called "a love song to the theatre...a love song to life."
