Multi award-winning author Nancy Churnin empowers children through her picture books. She shares stories of unsung heroes, including modern Queen Esther Eliza Davis. What a treat to have Nancy here at Raising Jewish Kids with Ms. Eve 🌟!

This conversation is inspired by “Words From My Heart, the hands on Jewish Prayer Book”, which helps children and their grownups explore spirituality and Jewish prayer.❤️

Words From My Heart… is a hands-on, scrapbook-style book that includes activities, games, songs, Hebrew words, and prayers. You can ORDER at www.shalomeve.com or at Amazon. Also available en ESPAÑOL

Listen to the Raising Jewish Kids podcast on Applecast, Spotify, and wherever you listen to your podcasts.

My favorite takeaways:

🌟 A book can be a conversation started for difficult topics. Often times we want to avoid hurtful subjects with kids, but it’s hard to shield children from things they see in their everyday lives or on social media. A book can be empowering. Pictures add to the story and compliment the words, while give visual learners to another entry point.

🌟 Life is all about new things. Do the things that you are a little afraid of. Life is about growing and stretching.

🌟 Eliza was an ordinary woman. But she had the same tools that Charles Dickens had: a pen, a paper, and something to say. And so do you!
