Jacqueline Dembar Greene:Upcoming Book Events

Schedule of Upcoming Events

I travel around the country to talk about how I wrote my latest books. Events often will include an author talk, a Q and A session, and a book signing. More dates will be added in the coming months. I hope to meet you at one of these events!

“Hanukkah Books that Illuminate the Festival of Lights”
Porter Square Books

Cambridge, MA 02140
(617) 491-2220

The author will share “behind the scenes” secrets of how her award-winning books, Nathan’s Hanukkah Bargain, and the Rebecca Rubin story, Candlelight for Rebecca, were written. For both books, the author used some true experiences as the basis for imagining a very different story. Both books reflect how the holiday spirit can be shared.
Educator Rabbi Eliana Jacobowitz and children’s book reviewer Penny Schwartz will be on hand to showcase their favorite holiday picks for kids of all ages.

Wednesday, December 14, 7 p.m. Recommended for ages 6 and older.

The Bedford Education Foundation Presents:
A Children’s Holiday Book Fair
Barnes and Noble
98 Middlesex Parkway
Burlington, MA 01803
(781) 273-3871

Jackie will share personal stories about how her award-winning books, Nathan’s Hanukkah Bargain, and American Girl’s Rebecca Rubin series, use real events that were transformed into imaginative stories. She will show how a book goes from the seed of an idea, through many revisions, illustrator’s sketches, and then into pages that become a book you can take home and read!
