Reviews
"As a young girl in Bal­ti­more in the late 1800s, Hen­ri­et­ta Szold was inspired by the sto­ry of Queen Esther read dur­ing the Jew­ish hol­i­day of Purim. She became a teacher in 1877 and opened a night school to help Jew­ish immi­grants from Rus­sia and Poland learn Eng­lish. She also start­ed the Jew­ish Pub­li­ca­tion Soci­ety and was the first woman to attend the Jew­ish The­o­log­i­cal Sem­i­nary in New York. She is per­haps best known as the founder of Hadas­sah, a Jew­ish women's orga­ni­za­tion start­ed on Purim in 1912 to com­bat dis­ease and hunger in Palestine. In 1933, when Hitler came to pow­er, Hen­ri­et­ta trav­eled to Ger­many to try to bring as many Jew­ish chil­dren as pos­si­ble to safety. Through­out the war years, Hen­ri­et­ta worked to bring more than 11,000 chil­dren to Pales­tine through Hadassah's Youth Aliyah program. Churnin's com­pre­hen­sive and inspir­ing text, paired with Nayberg's rich mul­ti-lay­ered, expres­sive, and art­ful mixed-media illus­tra­tions, bring to life this remark­able woman who was long over­due for a pic­ture book biog­ra­phy. Par­tic­u­lar­ly impres­sive is the way Churnin con­nects the lessons of the Purim sto­ry to Henrietta's life and accom­plish­ments, and how she pro­vides a con­cise, con­crete, age-appro­pri­ate expla­na­tion of Hitler's rise to pow­er and the plight of the Jew­ish peo­ple in Europe. Exten­sive back mat­ter pro­vides addi­tion­al infor­ma­tion about Hen­ri­et­ta Szold's life and lega­cy, a fur­ther expla­na­tion of Purim, a time­line, and a bib­li­og­ra­phy. Pair with oth­er biogra­phies of Amer­i­can Jew­ish women lead­ers like Goldie Takes a Stand by Bar­bara Kras­ner (Kar-Ben, 2014) and Han­nah G. Solomon Dared to Make a Dif­fer­ence by Bon­nie Lin­dauer (Kar-Ben, 2021) to help bring Hen­ri­et­ta Szold's words to life for young read­ers: 'Dare to dream and when you dream, dream big.'" -- Rachel Kamin, Jewish Book Council, "Elegant, assured prose ('The air was thick with tears for lost loved ones'), accentuated by facts and data, will keep readers absorbed alongside Nayberg's engrossingly abstract, fluid illustrations, tinted in rich hues of blue-green and red. A moving biography of a lesser-known heroine."--starred, Publishers Weekly, "Exceptionally informative, well organized, thoroughly 'kid friendly' in presentation, 'A Queen to the Rescue' is the highly recommended picture book biography of Henrietta Szold and especially and unreservedly recommended for . . . young readers ages 8-13."--Midwest Book Review, "Churnin portrays the organizational skill and human kindness of her subject with love and admiration. She expands the main text with comprehensive back matter that includes additional historical information, facts about the Purim holiday and a timeline. Nayberg's stylized cubistic illustrations are striking and convey the human crises that called for a great woman's intervention."--Association of Jewish Libraries, "Churnin's com­pre­hen­sive and inspir­ing text, paired with Nayberg's rich mul­ti-lay­ered, expres­sive, and art­ful mixed-media illus­tra­tions, bring to life this remark­able woman who was long over­due for a pic­ture book biog­ra­phy." -- Rachel Kamin, Jewish Book Council, "Using concise but informative text, Churnin does an excellent job of introducing this dynamic woman in a picture book format . . . [while] Nayberg's modernist, expressionistic illustrations effectively capture Henrietta's powerful persona."--starred, School Library Journal, "Henrietta Szold dedicated her entire life to aiding the most vulnerable. As a young child she saw her mother and rabbi father helping escaped slaves in Civil War-era Baltimore. She felt a connection to the Purim holiday and a kinship with Queen Esther, who bravely saved the Jews from the evil Haman. Although women had few opportunities to be heard, Henrietta was determined to emulate Esther and make a difference in the world. She saw Jewish immigrants facing dire poverty and discrimination and took the first of many giant leaps. She opened a night school for immigrants to learn English, and she became the first editor of the Jewish Publication Society. She founded Hadassah--using Queen Esther's Hebrew name--a women's organization dedicated to raising funds to address hunger and disease among people of every faith in British-controlled Palestine, and established her own residence there. When Hitler came to power she worked tirelessly to rescue as many Jewish children as possible and, with the support of Hadassah, saved thousands. Churnin presents Szold's accomplishments with careful attention to historical accuracy. The explanation of Hitler's extreme actions to destroy all Jews is informative, cogent, and accessible to young readers. The author's tone is admiring, stressing Szold's determination, courage, and endless compassion and reiterating her connection to the lessons of Purim. Nayberg employs light and shadow with elongated figures to illustrate the events and express the entire range of emotions felt by Szold, the people with whom she worked, and those whose lives she affected. A powerful introduction to a little known, very brave woman."--starred, Kirkus Reviews, "This stunning picture book shows why this brave, strong, dedicated woman founded Hadassah, and the interesting story of why this organization was named for Queen Esther, aka Hadassah. Readers will see the impact of Szold's work for immigrants, orphans, Jewish publications, and healthcare in Palestine as well as find themselves in awe of how one person can change the world."--Wisconsin Jewish Chronicle, "Readers will see the impact of Szold's work for immigrants, orphans, Jewish publications, and healthcare in Palestine as well as find themselves in awe of how one person can change the world."--Wisconsin Jewish Chronicle
