Get ready for some literary excitement as The Book Stall prepares to host something special. On October 15, at 6:30 PM, they will be celebrating the release of Sarah Aronson’s latest picture book featuring the iconic Bella Abzug, titled Abzuglutely!: Battling, Bellowing Bella Abzug. This isn't just any book launch—it's going to be quite the party. Perfect for kids aged six and up, the event promises not only fascinating stories but also delightful cake!
This engaging biography brings Bella Abzug's vibrant story to life. Aronson takes readers from Bella's roots in the Bronx to her illustrious career as a lawyer and fiery congresswoman who pushed tirelessly for women's rights and social justice. Bella, famous for her wide-brimmed hats and unyielding spirit, is on full display through Aronson's passionate storytelling. The author demonstrates how Bella's Jewish upbringing shaped her approach to the world, embodying the principle of tikkun olam, which means "repairing the world." This theme of activism and fight for equality resonates throughout the narrative, making it not just enlightening but also deeply inspiring.
Aronson’s works have always celebrated the unique stories of influential figures. With titles like Just Like Rube Goldberg and Brand-New Bubbe to her credit, she infuses her books with humor and insightful character portrayals. She holds an MFA from Vermont College of Fine Arts, which complements her rich writing experience. Her passion for storytelling shines through the pages, aiming to spark curiosity and motivate young readers to think critically about the world around them.
What adds to the charm of the book release event is the community-centered aspect of the gathering. It welcomes everyone with free admission, though guests are encouraged to reserve their spots beforehand. It's important to note, as Aronson herself puts it, "as long as people are reading this book, Bella will be with us still," highlighting the enduring impact Bella Abzug has on today’s society.
