About this author

April Halprin Wayland's newest picture book, NEW YEAR AT THE PIER--A Rosh Hashanah Story earned a star review in Publishers Weekly. It is an affectionate, celebratory story of forgiveness and what a boy learns at the pier on the Jewish New Year.

Her novel in poems, GIRL COMING IN FOR A LANDING, won the Myra Cohn Livingston Award for Poetry, the Lee Bennett Hopkins Honor Award for Childrens Poetry, was a Junior Library Guild selection, was nominated as an ALA Best Book for Young Adults and was nominated for ALAs Quick Picks for Reluctant Readers.

The operative word of her website is whimsy--it's full of writing exercises and resources, as well as information on Tashlich and on forgiveness
