The Soul Bird

This was the first book I ever read in Hebrew. As my friend set next to me and translated it, I was amazed at how true the authors words were. It is a children book for adults!

When I was in Israel a few years ago, I received this book in Hebrew from a very good friend of mine, Dorit. I cried as she translated the words of the book for me. Then, I went back to Israel two years ago, and I saw the book in English. I have been giving this book as a present to all my friends, no matter what age they are. I am ordering this for a new baby girl. I love the book for my own personal life, and for the ones I love. But I also use the book in my practice since I am a psychologist. There are so many lessons one learns from the book. The Soulbird became one of my favorite books of all times, just like the Little Prince by Exupery, and Friedman's Fables by Rabbie Friedman. Thank you, Mikhal Senunit, for you sensitivity, and Thank you, Naamah for your beautiful illustrations.

The Soul Bird was first published in Israel, and has, Ibelieve, already been translated into 23 languages! The simplicity ofthis uplifting story touched my heart AND soul!

This beautiful, simple poetry expresses our relationship to soul. The illustrations and poetry demonstrate feelings that both children and adults will recognize in themselves. It is a wonderful way to show children ( and the child within each of us ) how to understand and accept themselves and all their feelings and behaviors as part of who they are; and how to "open the drawers" to joy. What a special gift to share with a child and those we hold dear.
