I am donating a signed copy of my Schneider Family Honor title, GET A GRIP, VIVY COHEN!
Palestinian families need relief. This is a great way to buy a book while supporting them.

I am once again offering a signed copy of GET A GRIP, VIVY COHEN! to support a ceasefire in Palestine and aid for Palestinian children.
In my biased opinion, it's a pretty good deal.

Here's Ladybug posing with copies of RACHEL FRIEDMAN BREAKS THE RULES, written by me and illustrated by Genevieve Kote.
Note that Ladybug is a tuxedo cat and the book cover features Cookie, a tuxedo cat. (I guess maybe I like tuxedos just a little.)

Behind-the-scenes tidbit: Cookie's appearance was inspired by Jackie, my childhood cat. Here's an old-school picture of her. Note the resemblance!

@charlenedraws.bsky.social has made this wonderful drawing of Cookie the cat from the Rachel Friedman chapter book series!
For more Cookie, you can pick up the series written by me and illustrated by the super-talented Genevieve Kote.

Ladybug can't read RACHEL FRIEDMAN BREAKS THE RULES, but she likes that there is a tuxedo cat on the cover.

This is my cat after a bath. I think it's safe to say she did not enjoy the experience.

This is what the demand actually says.
I do not understand your interpretation of this TBH.
As I have said ad nauseum, I'd love it for Hillels to be better. I'd be all for cutting ties if an alternative existed. But unless you're going to provide an actual alternative, the demand is nonsense.

I succeeded in making a flourless chocolate cake for Passover like my mom used to. Given my nonexistent baking skills, this feels good.
Her cake always tasted much better than it looked, too.

Another Rachel Friedman cover reveal!
I am absolutely in love with this cover for RACHEL FRIEDMAN AND EIGHT NOT-PERFECT NIGHTS OF HANUKKAH, illustrated by Genevieve Kote (whose work will also appear inside the book!)
This is the Hanukkah story I wanted as a kid.

Seattle area Jews (and allies, if you are so inclined), I hope you will join me at this event tomorrow if you are able. Bring Yahzeit candles if you have them--it's supposed to not rain for once, fingers crossed.
We need to demonstrate that the Jewish establishment orgs don't speak for us.
