Abstract

"The Many Problems of Rochel-Leah" by Jane Yolen, illustrated by Felishia Henditirto, is a children's book that tells the story of a Jewish girl in 1830s Russia who is determined to learn how to read. Despite facing obstacles from her family members, Rochel-Leah persists in her quest for literacy. The book highlights the power of reading and includes text in both English and Hebrew. The illustrations use paper textures and brushwork to create a layered effect. The characters in the book are portrayed with pale skin. [Extracted from the article]
