Description
Despite being small and frail, Sadie Rose is strong in other ways. She never forgets to check the chicken coops so the foxes can't get in. She notices when the farm animals are sick. And she always has a new idea when it's needed. Even so, her neighbors worry that she's not strong enough for life on a farm. But when there's a calamity and friends and family can no longer celebrate the Sabbath in their neighbor's parlor, Sadie Rose comes up with an idea that proves that there are "all kinds of strong."

After receiving her BA from Harvard University, she taught elementary and middle school in a variety of places, including Florida, Massachusetts, and Puerto Rico. She speaks Spanish, French, and Hebrew; loves to travel; and studied in both France and Israel. Currently she is a high school administrator, and she and her husband, the parents of three children, live near Philadelphia.
