Check! My book THE BOY IN THE BOX is now on playing on my YouTube channel. Enjoy and Subscribe.

“The Boy in the Box” is an engaging rhyming tale in English and Hebrew, about a sad little boy who sits in a box, paralyzed by fear of the outside world. His existence is interrupted by a lively Bee who invites him to play outside. The story captures the essence of loneliness and the sudden opportunity for friendship from the very first verse.

The illustrations vividly depict the boy’s emotional journey, a rollercoaster between hopelessness and joy. The poem concludes with a powerful message about how the thoughts and choices we make affect our lives. A timeless story which invites readers to reflect, confront their fears, and embrace life.

When at times life seems harsh and a bit scary

and it’s so hard to laugh to sing and be merry

when deep down inside you feel ever so lonely

and you say to yourself: “Oh, I wish, Oh, if only . . .

”What if your wish became suddenly true

and you could step out with your hat and your shoes

would you stay in your box and play the blame game

or kindle your spirit with a bright glowing flame?
