On March 1st 2026, I launched my book Milo The Mime. The launch
party/Book Fair was held at the Rodef Shalom Synagogue for the
Jewish Disability and Inclusion Month (JDAIM) event. The experience
was overall positive. So many families were there to enjoy my book.
I even read to an audience of children ages 5-12, and they loved it so
much. I was happy that they were interested in my book. I do hope they
love my future work. I wasn’t the only reader. There was another reader
who had her own book to read. It was about a ballerina in a
wheelchair called Ballerina on Wheels which was a wonderful story.
Our books teach lessons in tolerance and acceptance with one’s own
disabilities or disadvantages. As authors and illustrators, our hope is to
tell stories that inspire the reader to understand more than what they
knew yesterday or the day before
