Author reads to kids and seniors

Deborah Lakritz read her new picture book, “Say Hello, Lily,” to residents of Chai Point and children from the Gan Ami Beginnings of the Harry & Rose Samson Family Jewish Community Center at the Rubenstein Pavilion on March 17. The book is about how a little girl struggles to communicate with residents of a retirement center, but in time becomes comfortable with them. Photo from Heidi Fendos/Fendos PR.
