I’m very excited to have a story included in this beautiful Hanukkah anthology! It’s about an aspiring middle school holiday concert soloist who just can’t catch a break. It’s called THE MOST JEWISH CHRISTMAS SONG EVER.

Many thanks to editor/anthologist Henry L Herz for including my work in this collection of heartwarming Middle Grade stories and poems by many beloved award-winning and NYT bestselling authors. Sixteen golden tales and poems as delicious as gelt-- you can binge them all in one sitting, or read two of them aloud to the family on each of the eight nights of Hanukkah!

I’m in Hudson, Ohio with the Right2Read program, meeting awesome kids and having the rare and wonderful experience of stepping inside my ARNOLD AND LOUISE books. Also getting to hang with Jerry Craft and sign books at The Learned Owl bookstore (Wed 3/20 4-6 pm). Too much fun!

It made my Jaguar heart happy to return to Janney Elementary for an author visit today! Funny story: a kid asked me to sign her sneakers and swore her parents wouldn’t mind (uh…). Fearing a shoe-signing frenzy, I offered an alternative and drew this shoe, which my host teacher copied and distributed to the kids. Problem solved!
