Happy Pub Day and congrats, Debra Zaslow, Gail Pasternak, Deborah Rosenberg ,and the Jewish Women's Storytelling Collective!! The Rooster Princess is out today.

“The stories we tell are a reflection of who we are and who we dream of becoming. These stories are rich and resonant with women’s voices and values, at once familiar and entirely new. Like all great folk tales, Chelm stories, and fables, they teach us and inspire us to feel. I look forward to returning to these tales again and again, and sharing them with generations to come.” —Rachel Barenblat, “The Velveteen Rabbi,” and author of Texts to the Holy

“The Rooster Princess and Other Tales is a much needed and highly recommended collection of stories that puts women front and center in Jewish folklore. The stories range from the biblical Eve to Edel, the daughter of the Baal Shem Tov, to Hannah of Chelm, as well as including contemporary personal stories. What an excellent resource for teachers, storytellers, and readers who will delight and be inspired by these stories that place women in leading roles while staying true to the meaning of the original tales.” —Barbara Diamond Goldin, coauthor of Meet Me at the Well: The Girls and Wise Women of the Bible, with Jane Yolen
