INSPIRED by the birth of my first grandchild…

I created All the World Praises You!, to celebrate the birth of my first grandchild, a delicious little girl named Dahlia, adapting the charming medieval Jewish celebration of nature and God, Perek Shira, (Chapter of Song). At once profound and whimsical, when you open the covers of this sparkling illuminated picture-book, honeybees and dahlias will lead you on a wild tour of our Earth’s environment. Wonders of the natural world exclaim biblical praises of God, offering hours of warm delight for young children and parents, and inspiration for all who love Hebrew and Torah. Each page presents an exuberant painting highlighting one letter of the Hebrew alphabet, the corresponding biblical verse in the original new Hebrew, accompanied by charming new translations and transliterations by the world-renowned scholar of Hebrew literature, Arnold J. Band. Perfect for baby gifts, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, for all interested in learning the Hebrew alphabet, and for adults seeking fresh spirituality—a book to which you and your children will return at every stage of life!
