Greenstein, who has had seven
books published, worked in her
father's bakery long before teaching at
the Rhode Island School of Design,
and encouraged him to write. His first
book, Secrets of a Jewish Baker, won a
James Beard Award. He's now working
on a sequel.
Her eighth book, Dreaming: A
Countdown to Sleep, will be out in
March.
I asked a woman I met if she
would write a story for my pictures,
and she said I should just write the
story down the way I told it to her,"
Greenstein recalls about her first writ-
ing project. "It turned out to be Emily
and the Crows, about crows and a cow,
and I've been writing ever since and
loving it."
