I’ve recently started writing children’s books that bring my family history and Stan’s family history to life. Each book is rooted in a true story and the era that shaped it.
Together, these stories connect family memories with the larger world events that shaped them, showing young readers how history and personal stories intertwine.
You can find out more about my books and how and why I started writing them by going to TinyTalesByTara.com.
The first book about Stan’s family is:
Step inside Paul’s Sweet Shop, a lively neighborhood store on Newman Street in Hackensack, New Jersey, in 1953.
Paul and Lillian Rothman’s little shop sells ice cream, toys, newspapers, penny candy, and everyday necessities, but it is much more than a place to buy things. It is where neighbors gather, children arrive clutching nickels and dimes, and customers share their news across the counter.
