Show Notes

Over the last few years, we’ve all taken the time to consider exactly what family means to us. We would venture into the world avoiding unfamiliar people, sanitizing multiple times a day– all to keep our family safe.

 

What a crazy time! A time that made us realize what matters the most, family. A group of people, blood-related or not, that loves and cares for each other because, at the end of the day, Family is Forever.

 

In this episode, we have Leslie Gang in our author spotlight! Leslie is an avid theater enthusiast, educator, children’s book author, and co-founder of Hindi's Libraries, a non-profit organization that donates new and gently used books, founded in 2018 in memory of Dr. Hindi Krinsky. 

 

Hindi's Libraries has donated over 400,000 books and partnered with 650 organizations worldwide!

 

Leslie's book But Family is Forever, represents different types of families to help children respect differences and focus on what matters most.

 

During the conversation, we discuss diversity within the family, but also hone in on commonalities. Leslie also shares the bittersweet story of how Hindi's Libraries started, how they built family and community inside the organization, and how people can make a huge difference with books.
