Approbations:

"It is with true pleasure that I read Devora Piha's book, The Joy of Jewish Art for Children. It is a rich addition to anyone's library; anyone who has wondered how art fits in the Torah world, anyone who wishes to teach art, will be amply rewarded with the wealth of the author's insights, knowledge of child development, and rich examples taken from her practice…I loved it."

Dr. Judy Belsky, psychologist, author, and artist

"A wonderful surprise, an original work for Jewish parents and teachers designed to develop both artistic creativity and character in young children in a religious Jewish framework… A refreshing, innovative guide to teaching children wholesome, ethical, and moral values based upon Jewish tradition…The book is at the same time a very practical, hands-on "how to" manual for teaching children self-expression through art, by using Jewish art and biblical and traditional Jewish tropes as models to inspire and mold Jewish children."

Michael (Kaniel) Kaufman, author of A Guide to Jewish Art and editor of Jewish Art
