Marc's picture book MR. KATZ AND ME (Apples & Honey, illus. by Nanette Regan, Sept. 2024) has been selected by PJ Library’s Book Selection Committee for an Author Incentive Award. PLUS, this moving story of an unlikely "bar mitzvah boy" - an elderly immigrant from the USSR - just received a glowing review from School Library Journal: "a great example of how understanding and compassion can lead to friendship." Way to go, Marc!!!
