Tree and Bird — Leora and Leon Lazarus

Tree and Bird is a story about the friendship between a small bird and a wise old olive tree. Bird has to migrate south from Israel for the winter, leaving his best friend behind. The long journey is made easier as Bird finds connection to his home and his friend through the Havdalah ceremony that ends Shabbat. Children will love learning about their connection to the Tree of Life, our Torah, through this beautifully illustrated Havdalah story. The book features additional information about people, places, animals, and plants. Parents and teachers will be able to answer most questions by referring to the back of the book. Havdalah prayers with easy transliterations and translations are included.
