Hello everybody,
  On the topic of good books and those that have a religious theme...
  I am a librarian at the Charles E. Smith Jewish Day School in Rockville, Maryland. Every other month we hold a Parent Child Book Club
(http://www.cesjds.org/~lslibrary/bookclub.htm), and we chose "Speed of Light" as our January book. For our discussion, we have 5th- and 6th-grade students and their parents join us for an hour and talk about themes, ideas, and thoughts on the chosen book.
  We like to have background information prepared in advance, but we are having a difficult time finding information about Sybil Rosen. Is there a good place to go for such information and/or discussion questions on
"Speed of Light?" In particular, have any of you held a discussion on this book in the past, and, if so, what have you done? Any information that you could provide would be helpful, even a write-up dating from its selection as a 1999 Sydney Taylor Book Award recipient. Please reply to me off-list with any leads at all!
  Thank you very much,
  Stacey Weinberg sweinberg at cesjds.org
