We love kids books with soul. It Could Always Be Worse, a 30-year-old classic, oozes personality and purpose as it retells an age-old Yiddish folktale teaching the importance of appreciating what we have. Colorful illustrations and repetitive text tell the story of a family feeling low on space and patience that gets some difficult but ultimately rewarding advice from their rabbi. Hear the tale come to life Sunday Nov 15 at 3pm as PJ Library presents a storytelling at the Miami Book Fair’s Children’s Alley. $6.99 at booksandbooks.com or free with complimentary PJ Library membership.
