A picture book following a Creationism model?!?! I know. I'm as shocked as you are. Or let me say I was shocked that we had it in our collection. It's a beautiful book.

All of the illustrations are made by compiling Hebrew letters into the objects. So think on day for (sun, moon, and stars) those illustrations are depicted using letters. I just loved reading something with views closer to my own! ( )

Cute rhyming version of Creation with Hebrew words shaped like the objects they represent, with additional symbols added as necessary. At the end of the book there is a key in which the object pictured in the book is shown along with the English and Hebrew words for it, and a transliteration of the Hebrew. It's a clever idea: as the artist explains in an endnote, "We understand that God created the world with words. The pictures in this book are also created with words." ( )
