A Little Roaring!

Please forgive my indulgence - I try not to write to much about "me,me,me," on this blog, but I do want to share with those of you who might care! Like a Maccabee received a STARRED review in Jewish Book World! I am pinching myself.

Here is an excerpt:

Using the backdrop of the Hanukkah holiday, the author realistically captures the challenges of peer pressure and positive ways to overcome adversity against a bully. Written for children of all backgrounds, the story of Hanukkah is retold through the narration of the grandfather. Black and white cartoon-like pen illustrations add a comical flair and complement Ben's age appropriate and comic musings... this heartwarming novel marks a promising debut for this first time author. Kids will enjoy this book at Hanukkah time or throughout the year.

This is just the motivation I needed to keep writing!

Have a Happy Sunday!
