MY BODY CAN, illustrated by Alexandra Colombo, is a book full of Jewish joy. Over the course of one Jewish year, this book celebrates all the things our bodies can do--from hiking to eating to swimming to laughing (four of my very favorite things). I hope you check it out!

Thank you so much to SLJ for reviewing THE ELEVATOR ON 74th STREET!

The reviewer noted, "This story will be useful for engaging children in discussions about the effort that it takes to form friendships and would be useful at the start of the school year."

Love that idea!

[Laura Gehl @AuthorLauraGehl]

@LeahMoserWrites Yay! Hope you enjoy ORSON!
