Post­ed by Dani Crickman

Guess who showed up at our office today?


Ha, we wish.

Not Fran Drescher.

But the next best thing: Wendy!

Being Wendy, Fran Drescher’s new book for kids, is com­plete­ly adorable and beau­ti­ful­ly designed. It comes out in November.

Dani Crick­man is the Jew­ish Book Coun­cil’s art director.
