Podcast: PJ Our Way
The newest episode of The Book of Life Podcast, hosted by librarian Heidi Rabinowitz, features an interview with the director of PJ Our Way, Catriella Freedman. PJ Our Way, an outgrowth of PJ Library, sends free Jewish books to middle grade readers.
PJ Our Way is an initiative of the Harold Grinspoon Foundation that gives free chapter books to Jewish families with middle grade readers. It’s an outgrowth of PJ Library, which does the same thing with picture books for younger kids. I spoke to PJ Our Way Director Catriella Freedman, who told me all the in’s and out’s of the program, and explained to me why independent readers can’t be treated in quite the same way as the little ones.
