On Wednesday, November 30 from 5:30-7:00 p.m. - on Wornick's Book Fair Night, we welcome Israeli author Lilach Kaminski, who wrote the amazing book: "Aba Holech Laavoda /
"אבא הולך לעבודה " (in Hebrew) - "Dad Goes to Work". This book is about a curious child, who wants to know what Aba / אבא (dad) is doing at work. It is a unique journey of a child and his imagination in an adult's world. The book is heart warming and is now translated to English. In addition, Lilach is working on the second book in the series - "Ima / אמא (mom) is Going to Work". Lilach will read "אבא הולך לעבודה" in עברית to our Wornick students and also lead a fun activity. Lilach is great with kids and we invite all native and non-native speakers to join. She will autograph all books purchased that evening. Hope you can join us.
