The Seventh Day


Sydney Taylor Notable Book
 
Scholastic Book Fair Selection

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.

"Hall’s mixed-media compositions swirl with color and energy." Publishers Weekly

The Seventh Day Book Cover by Melanie Hall
Artist Melanie Hall used a mix-media approach to capture Th Seventh Day's lyrical prose.
