| Ella and the All-Stars |
Just finishing the last page for my newest book Ella and the All-Stars (as Franky keeps a watchful eye out for the mailman).
I will be posting some of the illustrations soon.
The Next Big Thing! is a global blog tour (which started in Australia!) to bring awareness to authors & illustrators and their current work. Thank you to the wonderful Maggie Smith for tagging me!
I will answer some questions about my newest book, then pass the Q & A on to three fantastic book artists.
1. What is your next big thing?
This is one of my many projects but I am selecting it because it has such an interesting story.
The title in english is Room for Rent. The book is printed in German and in Russian.
2. Where did your idea for the book come from?
I am the illustrator of this book and the story was written by a well known Israeli author named Lea Goldberg.
The rights to the story were purchased by Myriam Halberstam, the owner and Publisher of Ariella Verlag, Berlin Germany.
3. What genre does your book fall under?
This sophisticated picture book conveys a powerful message of tolerance and acceptance and living together in harmony.
4. What actors would you choose to play the part of your characters in a movie rendition?
Instead of answering the question as it is posed, I will take the opportunity to talk about the cast of characters which represent the arts.
They include a visual artist, a dancer, an intellectual, and a musician.
The antagonists include a pig, an ant a rabbit and a mockingbird.
5. What is a one-sentence synopsis of your book?
When an apartment becomes available in the little brick building, the prospective tenants each turn down the opportunity to live there because they each have a personal prejudice for the current tenants.
6. Who is publishing your book?
This book was published by Ariella Verlag, Berlin, Germany.
7. How long did it take you to write the first draft of the manuscript?
Since I wasn't the author of this book I can't answer that question directly, but I do know that the original story was published long ago and has since been translated into many languages. It may eventually be translated into english if the book does well in Europe.
8. What other books would you compare this story to within your genre?
Perhaps "In the Night Kitchen," by Maurice Sendak.
9. Who or what inspired you to write this book?
This story has been around for many years but it continues to inspire it's readers to challenge the way they think about tolerance and living peacefully together.
10. What else about the book might pique the reader's interest?
This is the third book that I've had the opportunity to illustrate for this new publisher from Germany.
Ariella Verlag is the first Jewish children's book publisher to open since the Holocaust. I am proud to be involved with promoting the material published by this new company and feel honored to have been selected to illustrate some of their books.
Thank you so much for stopping by - I hope you enjoyed hearing about my new book.
The Next Big Thing Blog Tour continues with the following book artists - you won't want to miss them!

Just got word that the second annual Advanced Illustrators Weekend is open for registration.
http://www.highlightsfoundation.org/workshops/advanced-illustrators-workshop/In addition, here is their great fall picture book lineup of classes:http://www.highlightsfoundation.org/upcoming-workshops/
This is a little painting that I did yesterday as I was trying to loosen up and start developing ideas and characters for new stories. Tomorrow I'll be leaving for Virginia Beach for a book signing. I'm looking forward to going as I've never been to Virginia and it sounds like it's going to be an awesome event. The book that will be featured is A Horse for Hanukkah. I'll also take the opportunity to show the kids who attend, how to draw and paint animals.
Ariella Books is Germany's first Jewish children's book publishing company, founded in May, 2010, by Myriam Halberstam.
There is a great need for Jewish children's books in Germany, since the Jewish communities here have seen an unprecedented explosion in membership numbers due to the influx of former Sowjet Jews after 1989.
Ariella Books was founded to meet this need. Also for Gentile readers, A Horse for hanukkah is a humorous excursion into Jewish culture, informing the reader in a playful and endearing way about Hanukkah, the Jewish Festival of Lights.
A Horse for Hanukkah, ISBN:978-3-9813825-1-8; hardcover illustrated book, 32 pages, ages 4-8;
"Especially in German society with its growing cultural and religious diversity it is indispenable for the children of the majority to learn about the holidays of the minorities. Myriam Halberstam's new book, A Horse for Hanukkah, addresses this need in an exceptional way - suitable for children, amusing and readily understandable, even while describing a world that most readers in Germany are not familiar with. This beautiful picture book celebrates Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights and shows how harmonious diversity can be." Micha Brumlik, Professor of childhood education, Germany.
" A horse who speaks Hebrew! This story of Hannah and her clever but willful horse, Golda, will delight both children and parents. The charming illustrations capture the magic of Hanukkah, while the lively tale speaks to any child who has yearned for a pet. A funny, warm celebration of family life."
Kate E. Brown, Dept. of English, State University of New York at Buffalo.

Hannah desperately wants a horse of her own.
Miraculously her wish comes true for Hanukkah, but Hannah
cannot rejoice for very long as Golda, the horse, wreaks
havoc in a hilarious unfolding of the Rosenbaum Family's
Hanukkah celebration.
Written by Myriam Halberstam
Illustrated by Nancy Cote
Last week I attended the Book Expo in NYC where my book A Horse for Hanukkah was exhibited in the German Book Booth. It was my first time going to the Book Expo and I thought it was fantastic. I saw some friends from the Highlights/ Boyds Mills Press Booth and took some great photos but unfortunately I lost my camera on the way home. It was my brand new camera and I had some great pictures that I wanted to post about the Book Expo.
I'll be there next year again at the German Booth since I will have a brand new book called Apartment for Rent (www.ariellabooks.com) of Berlin that will be featured.
