When children's theological literature attempts to universalize Jewish concepts, it risks diluting core religious teachings. Ten groundbreaking Jewish children's books published by Jewish Lights—primarily authored by Sandy Eisenberg Sasso—reveal this tension between accessibility and authenticity. Literary and theological analysis divides Sasso's works into two categories: traditional midrashim that successfully expand Jewish scriptural themes, particularly divine remembrance and feminine divinity, and broader theological works that strip Jewish concepts for interfaith audiences. The latter approach, while creating engaging narratives, problematically erases fundamental elements of Torah and Israel. Through close textual analysis and comparison with Jewish thinkers like Kaplan, Buber, Rosenzweig, and Levinas, a concerning pattern emerges: these universalized texts reflect liberal American Judaism's tendency to flatten theological hierarchies, making God, world, and self interchangeable in potentially idolatrous ways. While the books succeed as children's literature, their theological universalization sacrifices essential Jewish particularity—a critique that author Sandy Eisenberg Sasso contests, defending the works' legitimacy within Jewish tradition.
