“A magical, coming-of-age story [that] captures the spirit of a Jewish girl finding her voice in the face of gender discrimination from both peers and teachers.”
“Music is magic,” according to the pages of In My Own Voice, a biography of the first female cantor, Barbara Ostfeld — and so, too, is this magical, coming-of-age story. The readable narrative and delightful illustrations capture the spirit of a Jewish girl finding her voice in the face of gender discrimination from both peers and teachers.
