It seems that the images in the previous post didn’t get delivered by email. I’m sorry! Here is the same post, but with text instead of images.
The first day of Shavuos is also the yahrzeit of both David Hamelech and the Baal Shem Tov. Here are some book recommendations about them:
This book about David Hamelech is a classic and a preschool favorite, perfect for the younger ones.
The Money in the Honey: A Midrash About Young David, Future King of Israel
This is a nice story involving David Hamelech, with great illustrations. It’s an older kids picture book.
These two volumes are graphic novels detailing the life of David Hamelech based on midrashim. Good for anyone who likes graphic novels, of any age.
In the Footsteps of the Prophets, A Treasury of Midrashic Chronicles, Volume Two, King David
This one is for older kids, and for adults.
Wonders of the Baal Shem Tov and his Students: Amazing Stories from the Lives of Chassidic Gedolim
Graphic novel-style stories about the Baal Shem Tov.
A Never-Ending Tale: Illustrated Parables of the Ba’al Shem Tov and His Disciples
A masterpiece, in Gadi Pollack’s inimitable style. For all ages.
There is still some time left to get these books before Shavuos, either with Amazon Prime or at your local bookstore or library. Enjoy!
Have a wonderful Shabbos and Yom Tov!
