Your PJ Our Way Books for February

Check out the four books available for selection from PJ Our Way this month.

Take a look at PJ Our Way’s choices for February!  This month, your child can read about a girl who’s getting used to a crowded home during WWII or discover how a 9-year-old stowaway survives on the streets of New York City.  A comic book retelling of the story of Purim and a graphic novel following the adventures of Rabbi Harvey are both sure to delight kids looking for a humorous read.

Just an FYI - in The War I Finally Won, the character of Sarah is a lesbian in a romantic relationship. This information should be included in the content section of the book details, but it wasn't. Be prepared to discuss this aspect of the book with your child.
