Stories that will capture young listeners in a group setting are the ones I want to write.Īs a child, you had aspirations to become a writer. The days I spent as a librarian conducting story times are always on my mind when I sit at my computer. My constitution book, Unite or Die: How Thirteen States Became a Nation began as a skit for my students to perform in celebration of Constitution Day. No English and Duck for Turkey Day were both inspired by ESL students. Other books have grown out of my experiences in elementary schools. Some of my books, particularly Once Upon a Shabbos and The Hardest Word, were originally written to perform for my preschool audiences. I also taught religious school, led Tot Shabbat services, and was a writing resource teacher. Fifteen of them, I was a librarian working in schools and synagogues. I worked in education for about twenty years.
