I had the BEST time doing an author visit and writing workshops with Years 3 and 4 at the very special Naima JPS. The students were engaged, enthusiastic and a dream to work with. To be honest, I was super nervous beforehand because I didn’t want to let down or embarrass a certain Y3 student…
Events
I love doing author visits to schools, libraries, bookstores, PTA events for both students and parents, and anything else you might be interested in! I am happy to tailor each visit to what will be most beneficial to you and your audience but some ideas are speaking about my journey to becoming an author, the inspiration for my stories (especially not seeing my community represented in children’s literature), Q&As and guided writing workshops for all ages. Contact me, I’d love to hear from you.
Library Book Club Chat
I adore doing author visits and this was one was particularly fun because the kids at Henry Waldinger Memorial Library in Valley Stream, NY had already all read Honey and Me and had the best questions!
Author Event with Years 5 & 6

Book Club Event with Kushner’s PTA
This was a most special event that I am still on a high from. On the third night of Chanukah, the Joseph Kushner Hebrew Academy/Rae Kushner Yehiva High School (a Modern Orthodox day school in NJ)’s PTA (KPAC) sponsored an author visit where I spoke to parents and students about my journey to becoming an…
Author Visit at Beit Rabban Middle School
The most unflattering photos of me at the BEST event 😭. Also, I’m not sure why I’m looking down as I actually spoke off the cuff — I think the second photo must be from when I was reading a short excerpt from Honey and Me. In any case, I had the most wonderful time…
Book Signing at Scattered Books!
Thank you Laura and all the staff at Scattered Books in Chappaqua, NY for supporting Honey and Me in a wonderful pre-holiday book signing. Special treat to see a friend who used to live in London and now lives in New York come in with her daughter 💜
