Enter to win an author-signed copy of The Princess of Borscht by Leda Schubert, illustrated by Bonnie Christensen (Neal Porter/Roaring Brook, 2011).
From the promotional copy:
Ruthie’s grandma is in the hospital, not surprisingly complaining about the food. All she wants is a nice bowl of borscht.
Ruthie comes to the rescue, even though she hasn’t the faintest idea of how to make it.
With the help of a few well-meaning neighbors (including the Tsarina of Borscht and the Empress of Borscht and some ingenuity of her own), a soul-reviving brew is concocted…
To enter, comment on this post and include an email address (formatted like: cynthia at cynthialeitichsmith dot com) or a link to an email address. Or email Cynthia directly with “The Princess of Borscht” in the subject line.
Author-sponsored. Eligibility: U.S. Deadline: midnight CST Dec. 12.
Cynsational Notes
The New York Times Book Review raved, “Schubert (‘Ballet of the Elephants’) turns the story of a sick relative, not a particularly cheery topic, into a sweet and salty tale, warmed by Christensen’s lively sketches, about bickering Jewish neighbors and intergenerational caregiving.”
The book sounds delightful and I would love to be included in the give away.

I can’t wait to read this book. It would be even cooler to get to read an autographed copy. woof at bright dot net
I WANT this book!

The book looks like a great read, but I'm outside of the USA! And there is no Kindle version available at Amazon…
I need this book–and all books written by Leda! Kelly@kellybinghamonline.com

This book sounds wonderful. How fun it would be for little chefs to read and then try their hand at cooking as well.
