Once Upon a Pesach The Miracles of Chanukah When We Left Yerushalayim Who Is the Builder?… Stories for children? Well yes but they also contain deep messages for teenagers and even adults.

Meet Genendel Krohn talented author mother and teacher. Maybe you’ve met her already through the pages of her books. Let’s hear a little about Mrs. Krohn’s creative process and the path she took to becoming a reader and a writer.

“I started writing children’s books because I was looking for books to read to my kids” Mrs. Krohn explains. “As an artist I was very particular about the illustrations. I ended up writing Who Is the Builder? a book that I would want to read to them.”

Still writing the story and getting it published is a whole different process. Mrs. Krohn went to a few different publishers until she found the one that was the right fit for her book which turned out to be Feldheim. “I’ve been with them ever since” says this author of more than ten books to date. “I’m so grateful because Feldheim allows me to be involved with every aspect of the book such as choosing the illustrator and planning the illustrations which is so important to me.”
