My Life at the Bottom + It’s OK, Slow Lizard + Ellie’s Voice
A trio of picture books from women writers in translation, each told through the perspective of a unique little critter including an adorable Mexican axolotl, a mellow Korean lizard, and a questing Estonian bird.
For Yiddish enthusiasts and novices alike, How Yiddish Changed America and How America Changed Yiddish is a smorgasbord of essays, poems, cartoons, and other dispatches from Yiddish America—a place where we all live, whether we know it or not. We’re thrilled to share the preface—the tasty appetizer before the feast—from editors Ilan Stavans and Josh Lambert.
This spring, join Ilan Stavans and Josh Lambert at events across the country as they celebrate the release of their monumental new anthology.
