All The World Praises You

An Illuminated Aleph-Bet Book

by Debra Band

 

All the World Praises You is inspired by the charming medieval Jewish work, Perek Shira (Chapter of Song), an anthology of eighty-five verses praising God taken from across the Hebrew Bible (plus a few passages of later sacred texts) placed into the mouths of diverse natural phenomena. In the 24 vibrant illuminated paintings within All the World Praises You wonders of the natural world exclaim biblical praises of God, offering hours of warm delight for young children and parents, and inspiration for all who love Hebrew and Torah, for Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, and for adults seeking fresh spirituality—a book to which you and your children will return throughout your lives! The “Diving Deeper” link on the toolbar at the top of this page will whisk you to extensive enrichment materials that unpack the meanings of the verses and paintings for readers of several age groups.
