On this encore episode of “613 Books” Podcast, Producer-Host Heather Dean’s guest is Mindy Blumenfeld, the author of “Hillel and the Paper Menschies,” a book for children (that the rest of us will appreciate!) based on the actual experiences of young Hillel Blumenfeld z”l who was diagnosed with cancer when he was six years old.
This book is co-written by Marc Lumer, who is also the book’s illustrator. The words and pictures in “Hillel and the Paper Menschies” take us on a journey before, during and after the main character’s diagnosis, teaching us creative and thoughtful lessons about resilience and the power of a faith and a family’s love that can buoy a person through challenges.
