Hi Everyone!

English literacy Institute A.H.A.V.A. has launched its seventh annual read-a-thon by inviting local school children to help create what is expected to be the biggest book ever made in Israel.

The book titled "The Giant's Book" about a giant who can't find a book big enough to read, measures almost two meters tall, over one meter wide and is being made by school children from over 13 schools in Ma'ale Adumim who will be given words to write and design. 

Children's author and illustrator Netanel Epstein has created the front cover for the book which was unveiled at the Nofei HaSelah School in Ma'ale Adumim.

I took photos of the event and posted them online at:

Have a good night,
Jacob
