Description: When someone vandalizes her synagogue, Leila's community comes together to repair the damage and stand against Antisemitism and intolerance.

Review Quotes: Although hate takes forms that can't be as easily addressed as a broken window, this is nevertheless a lovingly crafted, age-appropriate doorway into a difficult topic. . . An especially important book for the current moment that will empower children to stand up in the face of bigotry.
--Kirkus Review

In this timely picture book, antisemitism is gently, and sensitively introduced to young children. . . This book is highly recommended for public, school, and synagogue libraries as well as family bookshelves.
--Association of Jewish Libraries

The creators address an act of antisemitism with candor and sensitivity, reassuring readers that one can belong to multiple communities without hiding one's beliefs or identity.
--Publishers Weekly

Ren­dered with sen­si­tiv­i­ty and col­or­ful, dra­mat­ic images, this is a cau­tion­ary tale about anti­semitism, and a hope­ful one about com­mu­ni­ty support.
--Jewish Book Council
