Catbird

The Ballad of Barbi Prim

De: Barbara J. Ostfeld

Narrado por: Barbara J. Ostfeld

In Catbird: The Ballad of Barbi Prim, the world meets an insightful, opinionated eight-year-old who's already taken a few steps toward becoming a pioneer - but also a shadow of her quirky self. Although she's corroded - sometimes literally - by a toxic but familiar social atmosphere, her love of singing propels her to become the first ordained woman cantor in 3,000 years of Jewish history. A family crisis exposes old and enduring wounds, but she begins to rescue herself - by diligently going to therapy - and embarks on an imperfect but perpetual metamorphosis, becoming the well-coiffed heroine of her own story. Barbara Ostfeld shows us that we are all brave pioneers - at becoming our true selves.
