Leni authored and published The Shoemaker and the Elves, a retelling of the classic Grimms’ fairy tale, in May 2021.  It is designed as a reading book for Waldorf and public school 2nd/3rd graders to develop vocabulary and comprehension. 

This fairy tale was chosen to portray  poignant lessons of  collaborative work, persistence, gratitude, and diligence, which are especially therapeutic in today’s world. Because of its literary value, this work is being translated into Spanish and Mandarin  for Waldorf  and other middle and high school students who are learning a second language.
