Why, yes!<br />
<br />
I am beyond thrilled to announce my forthcoming picture book - <i>Kugel for Hanukkah?</i> - will be released September 1 by Kar-Ben Publishing!!<br />
<br />
Thanks to the insights of editor Joni Sussman and art of illustrator Rebecca Ashdown, my story has come to life.<br />

I can't begin to thank Mama's marvelous illustrator (and my friend!), Tara Britt Story, and our sensational editor, Jen Chesak!! I wrote Mama's story, but they brought her to life...Gretchen M.

Counting narwhals is for the seriously sleepy. After all, jousting, pole-vaulting, and playing in a ring-toss tournament with some horn-headed Arctic whales is much more rest-provoking than watching a lamb hop over a fence! If you need to catch a few winks, put on your winter coat, cozy up to the campfire, and roast some Polar s'mores with me in <i>The Nighty-Night</i> <i>Narwhals</i>.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So began my cover letter....</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After 64 stories and 268 rejections, I received an acceptance and am so excited to share my book with you.</div>
