Hereville: How Mirka Got Her Sword by Barry Deutsch - Though this book has no kids of color, I put it one the list because the main character is Jewish, and its not a Holocaust story. I loved it Will review soon.

I'm looking forward to Takeshita Demons!
I'm looking forward to checking these out! I love Jacqueline Woodson and Eric Velasquez. Thanks for the heads up!
Thanks so much for including Hereville! I hope you enjoy it.
Although there's no way for you to know this as a reader, there actually is a kid of color in Hereville -- Mirka's stepsister Rochel. Rochel's father is black.
But since readers have no way of knowing that, I don't think it "counts" yet. If I get to do as many Hereville books as I want to do, readers will eventually get the chance to learn a lot more about Rochel's life.
Oops, you already said you enjoyed it! Sorry, I misread the first time. But I'm really glad you loved it, and I'll look forward to your review.
love Woodson and Sophie Blackall! excited to see them together.

Charlotte- me too. I love the cover.

Barry - Thanks so much for stopping by. I loved me some Hereville. Its nice to know there are more to come. That makes me very happy.
Contemplatrix - Woodson and Blackall together is some serious goodness.
