This beautifully written, eye-catching book takes young readers on
a journey through the story of creation. With the help of a magic
paintbrush, the whole world is formed out of the darkness. First
the oceans and land, then the moon and stars, followed by all the
animals and people. The book is notable for the way it invites
children to be creative and use their imagination: producing art is
shown as a beautiful act of creation, and vice-versa. The message
is a simple one: we all have the power to create beauty. This
exceptional work of children's literature has been a long time in
the making. The illustrations were originally produced in 1973 by
renowned Israeli artist Paul Kor. More than 25 years later,
award-winning author Yael Gover completed the text, and the book
was published in Hebrew. For this much anticipated first
English-language version of the book, Kor's original artwork has
been rescanned, making the colors more vibrant and accurate than in
any previous edition. This is a wholly unique book, made even more
so by the fact that it recently made it into space! Israeli
astronaut Eitan Stiva chose the book to take into space, where he
read an edition of the work printed especially for the occasion - a
spectacular journey for a spectacular book.
