A happy story and includes the recipe to make latkes together – recommend
Loved the sweet drawings and the inclusion of the recipe, so can use with the book to make latkes together. A happy story on building family traditions.

Charming Hanukkah Guide
A little dragon takes us on a charming journey through the fun and serious aspects of the Hanukkah holiday. I loved the author’s appealing drawings and I was glad to have her recipe for the potato latkes at the end of the story. If you want to have your own Hanukkah celebration, this picture book tells you everything you need to know.

All Three Grandkids Enjoyed it!
I LOVE THIS BOOK and am happy I bought it! The illustrations are gorgeous as is the color palette. The story is informative and meaningful. All three of my grands enjoyed it, as the eldest (age 9) read it to the younger two (ages 7 and 2).

Dreidels, Dragons and Delightful
Perfect to introduce the holiday to a young child. Love the illustrations (and the caution to let Daddy do the latke cooking.) Definitely a book that will be handed from one generation to the next.
Get your copy today!
Or see me at the book launch this Sunday from 4:00-5:00 PM

Sometimes a blessing can be a curse.
Young Maya bears the mark of the moon goddess, a sign that would doom her to be sacrificed in her village where the death god is revered. Forced to dye her golden eyes dark, Maya lives in constant fear of discovery. To save her family and the village’s future, she must find the courage to stand up to the high priest before he can bring the death god into this world.
Sometimes it’s hard to be who you are meant to be.
Especially when your powers can get you killed.
Eighteen-year-old Tatiana is running from her past and her star-touched powers eight years after a meteor devastates earth’s population.
Her power to heal may be overshadowed by more destructive abilities. Fleeing the persecution of those like her, Tatiana seeks refuge in a small town she once visited. But this civil haven, in a world where society has broken down, is beginning to crumble.
Only by harnessing the very forces that haunt her can Tatiana save her friends…and herself.
Plagued by memories not her own, a young hummingbird struggles to decipher the visions and powers that set her apart from her fellow birds. But the road to awareness is fraught with danger that could doom her to repeat history.
One step toward understanding.
One stride toward survival.
One leap toward flying free from the past.

A Hidden Past – A Deadly Secret
Gifted with the ability to wolf-talk, Kara has lived with the wolves since she lost her memories eight years ago. Now at sixteen, snippets of her past send her searching for answers.
But the warm welcome she receives in the human village hides more danger than life with the pack.
