The Treasure of Tel Maresha--A PJ Our Way Selection!
I adore the Harold Grinspoon Foundation’s PJ Library and PJ Our Way Programs that send free books to thousands of children around the world. Back in 2017, I received a grant from HGF to travel to Israel and research what became my historical novel Beni’s War. While I was there, I attended a dig-for-a-day program at Tel Maresha in Beit Guvrin National Park, which inspired The Treasure of Tel Maresha.
Now, so many years later, this book that was inspired by a grant given by the parent organizsation of PJ Our Way, is a PJ Our Way Selection option for September! I hope this book inspires kids to dream about the past and feel connected to the people whom came before us.
