Mr. YannetsLevi is one of the most popular authors for adults and children in Israel. Hehas published nine bestselling books. He spoke on his experience creating Uncle Leo’s Adventures and When Grandpa Jonah Was Just a Kid,stating that in writing children’s books one can take two people or things thatseem unrelated and bring them together.
