So often, we experience meaningful moments with our children or grandchildren that we’d like to capture–or have special stories from our own childhood that we hope to share with the next generation. Dr. Barry Mann has crafted a delightful children’s book,
Miri and her Drum Set, inspired by a real-life adventure with his young grandchild.
Miri and her Drum Set explores both the miracle of Hanukkah and also ways to unite people across religions and cultures.
Join us for an engaging conversation about Dr. Mann’s journey of transforming a personal story into a published book. Whether your goal is to publish or simply to create a family keepsake story, discover an effective process to outline and breathe life into your narratives. This event is perfectly timed for those looking to create and share a story that could make a memorable Hanukkah gift for the family.
This session will be recorded and sent to participants. We encourage live attendance for you to get the most out of the experience.
