Notable Book for Younger Readers - Association of Jewish Libraries
This Jewish children's book is a poetic adaption of the creation
story. God is likened to a potter, a painter and a musician. . . who molds desert canyons and riverbeds, paints the leopard's
spots and the zebra's strips and creates the sounds of lions roaring and thunder cracking. When creation is finished
on the seventh day, God calls all creatures to rest - and to celebrate.
"…visual images…combine
perfectly with the lyrical text to help explain the Creation to young children." Association
of Jewish Libraries
"Hall’s
mixed-media compositions swirl with color and energy." Publishers Weekly
Artist Melanie Hall used a mix-media approach to capture Th Seventh Day's lyrical prose.
