(Ascend Books, 2025).
People are like redwood trees? Dogs? Porcupines, even? Rabbi Michael Zedek shares how in a refreshing, humorous style that connects with young readers and their families. The illustrated stories in this slim volume inspire empathy and compassion as well as meaningful conversations that remind us we still have room and time to grow no matter our age.
As the publisher notes, “Michael’s collection of tales plants seeds for character-building and self-discovery that teach us to reflect on what we can learn from the mundane moments too often overlooked.”
Proceeds from the book benefit scholarships for needy children.
