Reviews Mai Ya's Long Journey Chippewa Valley Book Festival Authors in Schools Review Eau Claire, WI October 31, 2016 Re: Mai Ya's Long Journey Thanks so much for being part of our Authors in the Schools program. As I expected, you got great reviews from all your schools. Teachers said students found you fascinating, and were especially thrilled that Mai Ya came with you! Others described their students as being intrigued and enthralled. I’m sure you realize how motivating it is for students when a real, live author comes to talk to them. You make a lasting impression and play a significant role in showing the power of story and in creating life-long readers. Please know how much I appreciate your contribution to young readers, both in creating wonderful biographies and sharing the stories in person. Sterling North and His Friend Rascal Terri Schlichenmeyer "..an interesting supplement to the classic tale [Rascal]."
Jews in Wisconsin by Dave Zweifel, Editor Emeritus The Capital Times July 11, 2016 Linda Falkenstien. "Jews in Wisconsin will enlighten you about the history of one of the state's least visible groups." May 26, 2016
Further comments Dr. Tim Crain - Director of Seton Hill University's National Catholic Center for Holocaust Education ( NCCHE) "The book is excellent and I enjoyed it immensely ...Your story is brilliant in describing the Jewish experience in the western frontier ( Wisconsin) as well as how it fits into the larger framework of the Jewish American experience.." Laurie Schneider - great granddaughter of Alvin Garber " I am so grateful for your research and the Wisconsin Historical Society for keeping these people, places, and stories alive." |
