Members of the PJ Our Way Local Design Team connect with Veera on Skype
Cleveland’s PJ Our Way Design Team is hard at work!
Last Sunday, tween members of Cleveland’s PJ Our Way Local Design Team interviewed Veera Hiranandani, author of PJ Our Way Book - - The Whole Story of Half a Girl. With the help of Julie Frayman, Arts & Culture Program Associate at The Mandel JCC, the kids asked thoughtful questions and learned many things about Veera’s childhood where she had trouble fitting in as a ½ Jewish ½ Indian girl … how books became Veera’s friends … and how Veera eventually became an author. They also learned about Veera’s hobbies, family, and even met her cat via Skype. Check out the attached picture of the kids connecting with Veera on Skype.
Such excitement and happiness to be speaking to a real author!
