I Like to Look For…
Written by: Miriam Roth
Illustrated by: Ora Ayal

Children learn anytime, anywhere: They learn when they look for something they’ve lost, as well as when they happen to find something else along the way. They learn they can be sorry for what they’ve lost, and soon cheer up, finding joy and interest in something new and unexpected.

The heart of the wise gains knowledge
(Proverbs 18:15)

When your heart and eyes are open, you can learn from a host of possibilities the world has to offer.

Miriam Roth [1910–2005] – One of the most loved and well-known writers of Israeli children’s books. Roth wrote about 20 books, such as Tale of Five Balloons [Maʹase Ba-Chamisha Balonim], Hot Corn [Tiras Ham], and Yael’s House [HaBayit Shel Yael], that have become Israeli literary classics.

Ora Ayal [1946–2011] – Children book author and illustrator. Ayal illustrated more than 70 children’s books, among them the famous Miriam Roth works cited above, as well as six others, which she wrote herself, such as A Girl All by Herself [Yalda Levada] and One Dark Night [Layla Hashuch Ehad].
