The first-time author drew much of the inspiration for the book from her own son's journey of self-discovery as he prepared for his Bar Mitzvah. While every young man's journey is different, keeping traditions alive and respecting and learning from the past can enrich one's experience as they prepare for this important milestone. Much love and respect were weaved into the pages of "No Ordinary Yarmulke" and will hopefully delight and educate children as they enjoy it by themselves or share it with family and friends.
