NEW CHILDREN’S BOOK OFFERS REASSURING WORDS AFTER TURBULENT YEAR
In the new book “Never Tell a Hermit Crab We Can’t Repair the World,” written by Rydal Park retirement community resident and local author Rabbi Howard Fogelson Bogot, 83, and illustrated by local cartoonist and Rydal Park Director of Community Engagement Daniel Sean Kaye, Milo, a wise hermit crab, reminds readers of all ages that each of us has a role in repairing the world.
From a single smile, handshake or hug, each act of kindness, big or small, helps to make our world a better and more beautiful place. The book is part of Kaye’s popular “Hermit Crab” book series, which includes “Never Underestimate a Hermit Crab” and “Never Take a Hermit Crab For Granted.”
“This book is intended to offer a message of hope and reassurance for children and children at heart,” Kaye said. “Now more than ever, we all need to hear positive messages about how to achieve human goodness and repair our world. Milo encourages readers to come along with him as he shows us the way — the power, the fun and the joy of restoring the world together.”
Bogot is a lecturer in Jewish Studies at Abington College of Penn State University. He has written and co-authored books and curriculum guides to enhance spirituality, while serving as the director of religious education for the Union for Reform Judaism.
Kaye is an award-winning editor and writer, and an Abington School Board director. He is also Director of Life Enrichment at Rydal Park, a HumanGood life plan community. The book also includes a heartfelt introduction
from Congresswoman Madeline Dean of Pennsylvania’s 4th Congressional District.
All proceeds will be donated to the Mary K. Bogot (Bogot’s late wife) Memorial Fund to help music
students who require financial assistance at Penn State Abington, and the Rydal Park Friendship Fund that helps residents who face financial hardship.
