Honest answers to your children’s Jewish questions.  Rabbi Sharon Forman. URJ Press 2006.

What do you say when your five-year old asks, “What does God look like?” or “Why am I Jewish?”  By middle school the questions are tougher.  “Is the Torah true?”  “Why do I have to learn Hebrew?”  This incredible new book suggests successful responses to these questions and many more, summarizing liberal Jewish thought in an accessible, easy-to-use format.  The author, a rabbi and a mother, covers a broad array of topics, including God, holidays, ethics, history, Israel, prayer, Jewish diversity, practices and identity.  A must-have for Jewish educators, parents, and anyone who’s child may have a Jewish question or two.
