At their 4th annual award ceremony, hosted by Brian Stokes Mitchell, we were delighted to win the GANYC Apple Award for Outstanding Achievement in Fiction Book Writing (published October 1, 2016- September 30, 2017). The Knish War on Rivington Street was one of four nominees and the only children's book in the category. It was a thrill to be nominated in such distinguished company and a great honor to be the winner. Unfortunately, I missed the big event, but my granddaughter, Alexandra Oppenheim, did a great job of accepting for me. Thank-you, Ali and thanks to the Awards Committee!
