Author Talk and Storytime with Arlene Schenker

Join Arlene Schenker, retired teacher, lawyer, and author for an engaging, interactive author visit based on her book Call Me Gebyanesh, inspired by the real-life experiences of a young immigrant to Israel. 

Arlene begins by sharing her story and reading from the book, then leads an engaging discussion tailored to the participants' ages. Children are invited to reflect on Gebby's journey, connect it to their own feelings, and explore topics such as cultural identity, empathy, and diversity. Perfect for a wide range of elementary grades, this program promotes understanding and celebrates the richness of different backgrounds.
