Review of Debbie's Song by Ellen Leventhal

A song of determination and perseverance, Debbie Friedman’s life story is wonderfully presented by Leventhal’s lyrical writing. Debbie Friedman’s music stirred inside her when she was a child and continued to inspire her to bring Jewish music to the world. Readers will be stirred to follow their dreams just like Debbie did. And Natalia Grebtsova’s pastel illustrations expertly interpret Leventhal’s words. Back matter includes more about her life, a brief glossary of Jewish and Yiddish terms and Leventhal’s inspiration for writing the story. An easy read for young children.
