A wonderful visit today with a school in Vancouver sponsored by the #JCCJewishBookFestival. Kai and the Golem turns out to be an excellent book for delving into feelings and how to deal with them. My favourite answer: Golem shrinks from kindness. #Kar Ben Publishers. #kidlit #picturebooks.

A Storm Unleashed has its first review in. calgaryherald.com/entertainmen... A Children's Book Pick for Nov. "This historical fiction of bravery in the times of Nazi terror is an important read." #kidlit #Holocaust #Historicalfiction #dogs #HolocaustEducation #MGfiction

Absolutely over the moon with a review from the Jewish Book Council for Kai and the Golem. The reviewer understood exactly what I was trying to achieve with the book. Also best compliment ever: "Children will recognize themselves in Kai." #Kidlit #Picturebook #KarBen

New book arrives! Kai and the Golem. #KarBenPublishers #Picturebooks #kidlit

I was thrilled to present A Storm Unleashed to teachers at the Manitoba Social Sciences Association Conference on October 24. We had two sold out sessions. I was so fortunate to do the sessions with Kelly Hiebert, a Holocaust education scholar. #HolocaustEd #Berlin1935 #Middlegrade #Kidlit

My new #Holocaust #mg #novel launch. Berlin, 1935. What was illegal is now legal, including brutality against Hitler's perceived "enemies." #Fascism is now all there is. Mia, her dad and her dog, Max, must try to survive in a world where #hate has been #unleashed. #antisemitism #Canadiankidlit

Congratulations Carol!
