As the small children in our lives often remind us, the world around us is a miracle. From the moment we wake up to the moment we close our eyes, there is always something worthy of a blessing: the warm sun on our faces, a sudden burst of nourishing rain, a cozy home with good food… the list goes on and on. Bless the World, by celebrated children’s author Lesléa Newman, is an ode to the many blessings we all encounter every single day, and the gorgeous art by up-and-coming Israeli illustrator Noa Mishkin brings this message to life. (Observant readers will note that Mishkin has set the action in Jerusalem.) There is a Jewish tradition that encourages us to say 100 blessings every day; this title will get families started.
