Bonnie Ferrante’s review of my chapter book The Passover Surprise and her interview with me about The Passover Surprise and my fiction picture book How the Moon Regained Her Shape

Recently, author and blogger Bonnie Ferrante reviewed my fiction chapter book The Passover Surprise and also interviewed me about The Passover Surprise and my fiction picture book How the Moon Regained Her Shape.  The title of her review is “How Do You Deal with an Unfair Father?”  In this essay about The Passover Surprise, Ferrante praises the book and writes, “Children will connect with Lisa and find helpful advice on how to approach difficult discussions with their own parents.”

The title of the interview is “A Life-long Mission of Equality and Inclusion – Author Janet Ruth Heller Three Random Questions Interview.”  Ferrante posted the interview on her website on January 25, 2017 and the review on December 30, 2016.
