pizza and more in the spirit of Yoko,
written and illustrated by Rosemary
Wells?
In it, a little Japanese kitten is teased
mercilessly in the lunchroom over her
lunchbox full of sushi, until a brave
raccoon dares to try it, even declaring
it not that bad.
Also included are works such as
Pinkish, Purplish, Bluish Egg by Bill
Peet, Charlotte's Web and Beauty and
the Beast, as well as works by Jewish
authors such as Jane Rosenberg
(Dance Me a Story, Sing Me a Story)
and Michigander Patricia Polacco
(Chicken Sunday, The Keeping Quilt)
and illustrators Dale Gottlieb (I Got
Community), Beth Peck (Matthew and
Tilly) and Paul Meisel (We All Sing
with the Same Voice).
Throughout the exhibition, all of
these illustrations cover the walls.
"They're filled up with images to give
a kind of cluttered child's-room feel-
ing. They're all framed differently.
Some in gild, some in wood," explains
Rosen. "We love that feeling."
It is that same feeling of whimsy
that inspires Lois Sarkisian, owner of
the Every Picture Tells a Story Gallery
in Santa Monica, Calif., and curator
of the exhibition of the same name.
Always a collector of children's
books, Sarkisian (whose husband is
Jewish and whose Armenian heritage
relates her to Jews, she says, in that

and their parents — learn to under-
stand what makes us all different and
how our differences can help bring us
together.
It is very appropriate, then, that the
Spertus Institute of Jewish Studies
should be host to this exhibition.
Incorporating a graduate college, a
library and the museum, Spertus is
rooted in Jewish learning and culture
and is dedicated to inspiring learning
and understanding for Jews and non-
Jews alike.
"It's about teaching cultural accept-
ance," explains Museum Director
Rhoda Rosen. "To do that, we're mov-
ing away from a heavy text panel exhi-
bition structure to a more engaged,
participatory learning environment,
particularly for children.
"The child is experiencing and
doing rather than just viewing. We
don't want to just give them informa-
tion," she explains. So most of all, "it
has to be fun."
And what's more fun than a room-
ful of Dr. Seuss' Star-Belly and Plain-
Belly Sneetches; a sports room with
hopscotch and a basketball court in
honor of Floyd Cooper's Jump, about
Michael Jordan's own discovery of his
talent; a music and dance room with
an enormous mirror where kids can
dress up in costumes, play the bongos
and boogie; and a multicultural cafe-
teria with a plastic wok and sushi,
starting at $999 for adults

While at Sperms Museum, be sure to
shift gears and visit "Life in Shadows:
Hidden Children and the
Holocaust," an exhibition on loan
from the United States Holocaust
Memorial Museum in Washington,
D.C., that runs through July 31.
The most vulnerable victims of
Nazism were the Jewish children liv-
ing in occupied countries, of whom
only a few thousand of the 1.6 mil-
lion survived. "Life in Shadows" tells
some of the stories of those who sur-
vived by disguising their Jewish iden-
tity or hiding in attics, barns and
sewers, often leaving their families
and identities behind.
One adolescent girl lived alone for
three years on bugs, rats and worms
in the forests of eastern Poland. An
11-year-old boy was disguised as a
girl and as mentally disabled, exempt-
ing him from attending school and
exposure. Some were mere infants;
some never discovered their true
identities.
"It's a challenging exhibit, especially
for parents," admits Rhoda Rosen,
director of Sperms Museum. "The
crucial question that it brings forth is:
Could you give your child up, not
with the certainty that they'd be OK
but just with the hope?"
At the same time, however, the
exhibit highlights the human poten-
tial for kindness and compassion, fea-
turing the lives of people who risked
or lost their own lives to help save
others.
