News

August 6, 2018: In a week when I was feeling sad, I have had the good fortune to learn that my books have received two awards.  SKATING WITH THE STATUE OF LIBERTY was named a Massachusetts Book Award Must-Read Book and NEW SHOES has won the New York State Reading Association Charlotte Award!  Thank you to the children of New York state who read and voted on their favorite books.  You have lifted my spirits!

 

And: I have a new picture book just out!  In MATZAH BELOWSTAIRS, Miriam Mouse forages for matzah from the family that lives upstairs so that her Mouse family can have its own Passover celebration.
