Review:

When a melody finds itself drifting through the air looking for something or someone to listen to what do you think it will find? 

The melody floats through the air asking the mountains, trees, rocks, crows and even the flowing streams. They all say they have no need for a melody. When the melody finally sees a mother with her baby it invites itself into sooth the baby. 

Author Oded Burla uses this simplistic story to make a statement about how the Torah was accepted by the Jews and shared for generations. This beautifully illustrated story can be read at bedtime or any time. Parents and teachers can use this tool to teach about Jewish culture.
