Susan Weiss and Deborah Gross-Zuchman bring you a delightful children's Chanukah book, A Light for Meira - a Chanukah Story.

Meira is a little moth afraid of the dark. What could be better for a frightened moth than to learn the story of Chanukah, The Festival of Light?

Yes, there is more, but no spoilers here! Order your copy from BookBaby.com

Humbled, frightened and intimidated
by the forces of man and nature
leading to isolation and loneliness,
seeking relationships and love.
These are the effectations
of our present world.
Deborah Gross-Zuchman

poems born
express unspoken
conversation with art
re-passage to form

Effectations is a new collection of paintings by Deborah Gross-Zuchman and poems by Will Zuchman.

After seeing the work that Deborah had created over the past two years, Will responded by writing a poem inspired by each painting.

This collaboration of mother and son grew organically into this book - both paintings and poems are a reflection of our times.

The Essential Seder, A Contemporary Haggadah, is a new haggadah that I have created for the modern family. It is inter-faith friendly, great for kids, and every page is illustrated with my original collages (including 7 full-color illustrations). There is an emphasis on social justice and freedom. The Hebrew is transliterated and translated so that everyone at the table can participate. It also includes songs! The 8"x6" book is printed on shiny paper - perfect for use at your table. The Essential Seder can be ordered through Behrman House, Barnes & Noble, and on Amazon.

Windows Into War (a mother's lament) is a book of poems and paintings about war from a mother's perspective. Supported by a 2018 grant from the Puffin Foundation, this book can be ordered from Abingdon Square Publishing, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon.

An illustrated children’s book published in December 2017, Becky’s Braids will make you smile. Becky’s hair is the messiest. After grandmother teaches Becky to braid and bake challahs, the family is in for a surprise. Recipe to make Becky’s Challah included. Written by Susan Weiss and Illustrated by Deborah Gross-Zuchman, this book can be ordered through Barnes & Noble and Amazon, as well as the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History.
