Flory Jagoda and Her Music

When Flory's ancestors were forced to flee Spain centuries ago, they could only take their most precious possessions with them: the heavy key to their old home and the beautiful words of the Ladino language. Generations later, when Flory herself must escape Europe during World War II to start over in the United States, she makes sure to carry that exact same language, alongside her beloved harmoniku and her family's rich musical traditions. But what ever happened to that ancient key? This gorgeous picture book biography takes you on an unforgettable journey into the life of a legendary Sephardic Jewish singer who kept her family's unique history alive through song. You will discover a vibrant side of Jewish culture that is rarely explored, celebrating the power of music to connect us to the places we come from. Dive into Flory's inspiring true story and see how a single melody can hold onto the memories of an entire heritage.
