Kurshan, a mother of five living in Jerusalem, at first struggles to balance her passion for literature with her responsibilities as a parent. Gradually she learns how to relate to reading not as a solitary pursuit and an escape from the messiness of life, but rather as a way of teaching independence and forging connection. Introducing her children to sacred and secular literature-including the beloved classics of her childhood-helps her become both a better mother and a better reader. Chief among the books Kurshan reads with her children is the Five Books of Moses, known as the Torah, which Jews the world over read in synchrony as part of the liturgical cycle. In the five parts of this memoir, Kurshan explores the surprising resonances between the biblical text and her experiences as a mother and a reader - from the first picture books that create the world through language for little babies, to the moment our children begin reading on their own leaving us behind, atop the mountain, as they enter new lands without us. A testament to the enduring power of shared texts, Children of the Book celebrates the deep pleasures of books"--   aLecture Participation des parents  aLiterature Study and teaching  aMemoirs  aKurshan, Ilana — Biography  cLEN  2ddc  00102ddc40708NFICaMAINbMAINcGENd2026-01-25ePurchasedg599.00iKC-25-CRB-5927,2026/01/24l1m1o920 ILA/CHpE1102602r2026-02-19 14:09:59s2026-01-29w2026-01-25yLEN  c197810d197810
