Double Crossing Cinco Puntos October 2005 $16.95 ISBN 0-938317-94-6 ORDER THE BOOK When Raizel’s father announces that he is leaving for America and taking Raizel with him, she is terrified. The journey is even more difficult than she imagines, but the dangerous border crossing, near-drowning and the serious illness of her father pale in comparison with the landing at Ellis Island. Will Papa and Raizel be accepted or deported back to Europe? Will Papa be willing to pay the price of giving up everything he believes in to enter America? Double Crossing uncovers a little known aspect of the immigrant experience, one as relevant today as it was at the turn of the 20th century. |

My Children’s Books in Hebrew
A New Boy was recently published in English by the Milk and Honey Press, a unique publishing venture dedicated to fostering positive connections between English-speaking children and Israel by publishing the books of Israeli authors. I am proud that A New Boy was chosen as one of three books to inaugurate what will certainly be a fascinating series of books.

Why do I write children’s books in Hebrew? Because I live in Israel. I raised my three sons on Hebrew children’s books and it seemed natural to write for children in Hebrew. But the road hasn’t been easy. Read about the differences between writing in Hebrew and English and learn about my Hebrew picture books.
