We are so saddened to share that celebrated children’s book author Norman H. Finkelstein passed away on Friday, January 5, 2024.
“Norm was endlessly insightful and creative and always a joy to talk to. His incredible books championed the vital contributions of Jewish Americans, immigrants, and workers to U.S. history and culture, so future generations wouldn't forget all their hard-fought accomplishments. I can't think of a better legacy and I feel privileged to have worked with him on Amazing Abe.”—Della Farrell, Associate Editor, Holiday House
Holiday House is honored to publish Amazing Abe: How Abraham Cahan's Newspaper Gave a Voice to Jewish Immigrants next month.
