KIDS BOOKS
As an illustrator of children's books, it's important to be able to have a diverse and open stylistic range. Every story has it's own energy and requirements, and every author I have worked with has their own vision. I love the process of building worlds and adventures!
Below are some of my favourite books from the past years.
The Seven Palaces of Breath - The Mystery of the Flying Hobbler
A tale of wandering sages, wondrous characters, and adventures through celestial realms, The Seven Palaces of Breath is a journey into the mysteries of being.
A bilingual children's book for adults and an adults' book for children, The Seven Palaces of Breath is a unique collaboration between a scholar of Jewish mysticism, Kabbalah, and an award-winning illustrator.
Described by his best friend Isaac Bashevis Singer as “the greatest Yiddish poet,” Aaron Zeitlin’s (1898-1973) mystical poem is based on a story from the 13th century Book of Radiance, Sefer ha-Zohar, the masterpiece of medieval Kabbalah.
Nathan Wolski’s playful translation and Anita Lester’s Chagall-like-Dali-esque illustrations give Zeitlin's mystical Yiddish poem a new life.
