AJL gives Kai and the Golem a great review!

Thank you to Mimi Leyton for her wonderful review of Kai and the Golem in the Fall 2025 issue of AJL News and Reviews from the Association of Jewish Libraries:

"...offering a tender and hopeful conclusion...The minimal text per page makes the book highly accessible for early readers and well-suited to shared reading. It encourages discussions about emotions, resilience, and how imaginati

Quotes by Carol Matas (?)

“We are alive. We are human, with good and bad in us. That's all we know for sure. We can't create a new species or a new world. That's been done. Now we have to live within those boundaries . What are our choices? We can despair and curse, and change nothing. We can choose evil like our enemies have done and create a world based on hate. Or we can try to make things better.”
― Carol Matas, Daniel's Story

“I want someone to pinch me so I can feel something, anything. I'm sick of this numbness, of feeling so alone and outside of everything, but I know it's too dangerous to wake up."

—Ruth Mendenberg”

“As for sex. Well, of course I could’ve had sex. Guys will have sex with a watermelon if they’re desperate enough. Lots of girls try to prove their love by having sex. It only proves they’re having sex.”
