Reading Rainbow is the highly acclaimed series that promotes the pleasure of reading for primary grade students, and frequently explores cultural and social issues in a sensitive manner. In this episode, the friendship of a young African-American boy and his elderly Jewish neighbor is told in Mrs. Katz and Tush, written by Patricia Polacco. Reizl Bozyk and Rich English narrate this story of how the relationship develops after Lionel gives Mrs. Katz a cat named Tush. Host LeVar Burton also discusses his friendship with Shari Graham, his "bubbie," who teaches him how to make challah, a Jewish bread.
