“Hanukkah Hank” and I are back! 🕎 We’re bringing our lively HANUKKAH HIPPITY-HOP storytime to Atlanta-area families, with movement, songs, games, and a fun craft.
Now booking Hanukkah 2026!

I’m so excited about my next book, NO OR YES? IT’S FUN TO GUESS!, a fun lift-the-flap board book from PJ Publishing! 🎉 Coming in 2028!

Nothing makes me happier than seeing HANUKKAH HIPPITY-HOP in so many little hands!

I love seeing kids dive into imaginative play with PURIM POSSIBILITIES mix-and-match costume stickers!

I’m so excited to have my story, “Hello from Camp Misery,” in the July 2026 issue of Highlights! Grateful to Benedetta Capriotti for this adorable art.

Loved seeing Purim Possibilities featured in Liza Wiemer’s Book Corner in the Wisconsin Jewish Chronicle!

A special moment: my first peek at a child holding Purim Possibilities. Thank you, PJ Library, for making it possible!

Purim Possibilities comes with four sheets of reusable stickers—fun for little readers and perfect for imaginative play. Available on Amazon.
