** LFJ Book Reviews for Children and Teens
------------------------------------------------------------
[link removed]

Each issue of Learning for Justice magazine features some of our favorite recently published books. And now, for your perusal this holiday season, we’ve collected these book reviews in one convenient resource page ([link removed]) . Check it out and add some new books to your family’s 2024 to-read list!

Stories are a deeply meaningful way that we learn about the world, and they can build empathy and understanding of ourselves and others. With LFJ’s selection of books to review, we strive to reflect diverse perspectives, affirm identities, celebrate cultural differences and highlight justice. We recommend these books to share with children to expand their horizons from the comfort of home.

We hope that you and your loved ones can find some time this season to relax, rest and recuperate. From your friends at LFJ, happy holidays!
