We Can Find a Way a Hachnosas Orchim inclusion story Hachnosas Orchim means inviting guests... but it also means making sure that those guests feel comfortable and included! In We Can Find a Way, Eli, Zev and Leah look forward to hosting a celebration for their Bubby's birthday. However, meeting the needs of every guest requires sensitivity and lots of creative thinking. Two of the toddlers have food allergies. What kind of treats work for them? Their uncle is using a wheelchair. He can't even get up the front steps! One of their cousins can't tolerate crowded, noisy events. Will the party have to be cancelled, or will Eli Zev and Leah find a way to include everyone? Children ages 3-6 will love the suspense and the positive attitude of the main characters. Hopefully, when planning an activity or event of their own, young readers will understand the value of inclusion, and make sure to find a way!
Dina Rosenfeld Editor-in-chief, Hachai Publishing Author: The Very Best Place for a Penny A Tree Full of Mitzvos Labels for Laibel, On the Ball All About Us A Chanukah Story for Night Number Three The Very Best Book A Little Boy Named Avram Kind Little Rivka Dovid the Little Shepherd
Dina (Devorah Leah) Rosenfeld was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She is the daughter of Emil and Rita Herman who imbued her with a love of good books and encouraged her writing from a very early age. Dina attended the Yeshiva Achei Tmimim through high school and continued her Jewish studies in New York at Beth Rivka Teachers' Seminary.
The author's first books were born of necessity. As a preschool Hebrew teacher, she simply could not find age-appropriate, full color picture books for her 4-year-old students and decided to create children's stories of her own.
The Very Best Place for a Penny and A Tree Full of Mitzvos were her first manuscripts to be accepted for publication thanks to the involvement of her husband, Shimon Aron Rosenfeld.
Dina went on to write numerous children's books. Modern-day stories such as Labels for Laibel, On the Ball, All About Us, A Chanukah Story for Night Number Three, and The Very Best Book published by Hachai Publishing are some beloved favorites.
Her tales from Biblical sources, such as A Little Boy Named Avram, Kind Little Rivka and Dovid the Little Shepherd are used by teachers and parents to bring Torah heroes and heroines alive for the very youngest children.
Mrs. Rosenfeld's books offer a variety of styles and sizes. She has collaborated with nine different artists and writes both in rhyme and in prose.
In addition to her own writing, Dina edits children's books and oversees their production from first draft through the final layout stage.
Due to the popularity of her work, certain titles have been translated into Portuguese, Russian, German and Italian. The author is gratified that her books are read and enjoyed in homes and classrooms around the world.
Dina Rosenfeld, a member of the Lubavitcher community lives in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, NY with her family.
