DAVID AND MAX: The Children's Novel, Companion Teacher's Study Guide, and Comprehensive Curriculum Materials

When it was first published by the Jewish Publication Society in 1988, DAVID AND MAX became an instant classic, a NATIONAL JEWISH BOOK AWARD FINALIST, and Notable Children’s Trade Book in the Field of Social Studies. The Jewish Publication Society, founded in 1888, reissued David and Max in 2006, and this updated edition has been recognized for promoting cooperation, nonviolence, respect for differing viewpoints, and close relationships in human societies, winning a 2007 SKIPPING STONES HONOR AWARD in the category of MULTICULTURAL & INTERNATIONAL AWARENESS.


DAVID AND MAX tells the touching and thought-provoking story of twelve-year-old David, a short-but-passionate basketball player, and his grandfather, Max, a Holocaust survivor.

NOW AVAILABLE:

Focusing on tolerance, diversity and interfaith relationships, this project has been designed for educators interested in coming together with their students to discuss, study, and reflect on the lessons of the Holocaust. . .
