AUTHOR BIO
Zehavit Tzarfati lives in Tel Aviv, Israel. She holds a BA in Psychology and Education, and a Masters in Public Policy. Zehavit loves animals and children, and it's this love that urged her to dedicate her time to writing stories for young children. Her tales are original and all of them feature eye-catching illustrations which aid young readers in understanding the text within each story.
Her books are written simplistically, yet not too simplistically as to be deemed childish by slightly older children. Ultimately, Zehavit offers wonderful reading material to parents who enjoy reading to their children and, at the same time, to children who are learning to read for the first time.

This book is a fine way to
introduce children to the important things we can do with our lives - that fame
is less important than caring - and love goes along with all that. Grady Harp,

When the young narrator of the story examines his dad's study,
he discovers evidence that his dad is a great man with many accomplishments. For
example: a compass implied that his dad was a great explorer; a gold pen must
mean his dad is a powerful businessman. When he asks his dad about what he's
found, he learns that the truth is a bit more down to earth, but it means that
his dad is even more than what he thought he was.
The illustrated story sends a message to youngsters that their parents don't have to be wealthy and famous to be proud of them. Parents loving their kids and teaching them what they need to know are enough. And reading them bedtime stories, too!
