Lit Bite: A Sky Full of Song
September 5, 2026
As the pogroms rage across the Russian Empire, Shoshana’s family finds 
escape and safety by starting over in America. They travel to North Dakota and begin a homesteading adventure on the prairie. But America is so very different from their village back in Ukraine, and Shoshana must decide if it’s better to fit in or embrace her Jewish culture.
With this Lit Bite, your child will learn about American immigration at the turn of the 20th century, life on the American prairie, and Russian Jewish culture. Packed with discussion starters and activities to take the story further, your child will have so much fun they won’t even know they are learning!
This Lit Bite will take 3 weeks to complete (as written) and is perfect for children ages 10 – 12.
