Children of the World Illustrate the Bible
by Amos Rolnik
Children of the World Illustrate the Bible It all began when we were looking forward to the fiftieth year Jubilee of the State of Israel. We were looking for a way, something unconventional, to bring Israel to the attention of hundreds of millions of people throughout the world. And so we came up with the idea, rather self-evident: The Bible. The Book of Books, which speaks to each and every one in dozens of countries and countless cultures. We asked ourselves: Who will bring this message? And then the idea came up: A worldwide competition among children to draw the stories of the Bible. We did not limit the subjects. Anything would be accepted as long as it was in line with the stories of the Bible. And wonder of wonders: Just like a fire in a field of thorns, the message went from country to country, from city to city, from school to school, from family to family: The children of the world are drawing the Bible. And the project reached 91 countries. Hundreds of thousands of drawings reached us. Only a handful of the thousands are brought in this album, which is the first in the series of titles flowing from the illustrations that were sent to Israel and were chosen by our staff of curators. And indeed from this handful we can already see their uniqueness. We all know the stories of the Bible, but here they materialize before our very eyes. As the children from five continents described them in their imagination, it seems that even the authors of the Bible themselves would not believe how alive and full were their heroes, as depicted with the brushes of these little children. Not only did we find a drawing of a story, but also a wide rainbow of emotions, notions, beliefs and outlooks of the world. And above all: Personal expression and riveting exposition without filters, analysis or criticism. We conducted the project throughout the world for three years, and at the end, when the thousands of drawings began streaming to the country, we were astounded by this enormous and absorbing crop. We could not avoid falling captives to the charm, strength of expression and intensity of experience that flowed from these drawings. It seems that thanks to the remarkable coming to the rescue by the children of the world, the stories of the Bible won an inspiring, artistic revival.

Tell Children About the Sanxingdui
by Liu Xingshi
The Sanxingdui Ruins are considered one of the most the greatest archaeological finds of China in the 20th century. Located in the southwest China's Sichuan Province, the ruins are believed to be the remnants of the ancient Shu Kingdom, predating the Xia Dynasty by 700 years or even thousands of years, dating back up to 3000 or 5000 years ago. What is the truth about this period of history and who built it? This is a mystery to the world. Liu Xingshi is a prehistoric archaeological researcher, contemporary geologist, science popularization writer, and expert in Sanxingdui mineral resources investigation. He wrote, at the age of 91, this set of humorous but professional books for children to guide them in uncovering the mysteries of the Sanxingdui Ruins from the perspectives of geography, archaeology, history, and human environmental science. Unlike the most books on the market focusing on the cultural relics unearthed at the Sanxingdui Ruins, including the surprisingly large number of bronzes and ivories, this unique set of books traces back to the ancient Shu civilization and explores how Sanxingdui people lived, including food, clothing, shelter, transportation, labor, and migration, as well as the hidden geography, climate, and environmental knowledge, which leaves infinite imagination space for children.

LANCE WHO LOST HIS PANTS
In the Middle of the Dance
by Israel (Poochoo) Wiesler
This is a story about a skinny boy who at first did not like to eat and was very thin, but later on, when he finally started to eat – he would not stop. It was awful: when he was thin his pants would fall down, and when he gained weight they would burst at the seams. What could be done? Ask his mother who had a solution to every problem. This book, which has been selling extremely well in Israel for the last ten years, recently became even more popular with the growing awareness among both parents and children of the problem of childhood obesity. Although there is a moral to the story, its great success (12 editions have been published so far!) stems mainly from the fun that the young readers derive from the story. The author, Israel Wiesler (nicknamed “Poochoo”), was born in Tel Aviv and published his first book, “What a Gang,” at the age of 26. “What a Gang” won a major literary award, became a best-seller and was adapted into a successful movie. Since then, Wiesler has written more than thirty books and dozens of scripts for TV series aimed at children and young adults. Wiesler’s works, written with a warm and special sense of humor, won six literary prizes in Israel. In the reputable “Ofek Lexicon” for children’s literature in Hebrew, Wiesler is described as “the best humorist writer for children and young adults in Israel.” Poochoo was one of the only three Israeli writers to be honored last year by the printing of a postage stamp portraying the cover of one of his books. An German-language eBook edition has been scheduled for summer 2015 by Lindenfels Von Pressel Verlag, Frankfurt am Main. 20 pages, full-color hardcover and 2 colors illustrations inside, 22X23 cm
