Just one month after her first book published, Frumie Ganz released the second book in her “The Little Red Headed Girl” series.
Her second book, “How I Met My Prince” is a fairy tale inspired by her real life events. The main character, Laura, goes on a journey to find her prince when surprises happen along the way.
“This delightful story shows that dreams often come true in the most magical ways,” Ganz said. “It’s about meeting your prince and how a princess should feel and be treated.”
Ganz, of Cedarhurst, had been working on this book while in production for her first one.
“I have been putting in a tremendous amount of hours for this,” she said. “While I was working on the first one, I was working on my second. Even though it seems like from the first to the second is 30 days, it’s more like three months.”
It officially published on Oct. 29 and is available for purchase on Amazon. Like the first one, she both authored and illustrated the book.
“It’s very exciting and I good feedback which makes me feel nice,” Ganz added. “I was very proud of the illustrations and it’s very cute.”
After her first book published, Ganz received a letter of congratulations from Councilwoman Melissa “Missy” Miller.
“It is with heartfelt joy that I extend my warmest congratulations to you on the publication of your very first children’s book,” Miller wrote. “An enchanting work that you both authored and illustrated. This milestone is not only a celebration of your creative talent, but also a powerful testament to the dreams you’ve carried since childhood.”
She decided to write a fairytale-themed book to keep in the timeline of her life, which flows, from childhood to the next step meeting her husband and getting married.
“I’ve been through all of my struggles and I thought it would be cute to write something about how I met my prince,” Ganz added. “It’s kind of about my prince currently and it’s a continuation that dreams can come true. There’s a lot of true parts to it with events that really happened.”
The book is aimed towards children from five to 11, but can be read at any age to share the meaning of following your dreams.
Ganz will be doing her first reading and signing at Joseph Kushner Hebrew Academy in New Jersey to three different grades.
“I’m a little nervous, but it’s pretty exciting,” she said. “You don’t know what to expect and this is all new for me.”
Gaz said that she is shock to be following her dream and has never felt so accomplished in her entire life.
“This is just huge for me,” she said. “The main thing when I started this was a message for my own children that you’re never to old to anything that you want to do. You should always follow your heart and dreams.”
After being out for only a month, the book has received multiple reviews from parents who are reading this with their young children.
Megan Span wrote that this is a sweet and heartwarming book that her and her daughter enjoyed reading.
“The story teaches a valuable lesson about waiting for the right person and not settling for anything less than kindness and respect,” Span wrote in an email. “The illustrations are colorful and engaging, capturing the magic of finding true love. It’s a wonderful book for parents to share with their children to teach them about the importance of kindness and respect in relationships.”
