Introduce your little ones to the timeless stories of the Tanakh with my first Tanakh stories,

the enchanting new children series from Koran Jerusalem.

Written by Shira Greenspan and illustrated by Renat Gilboa,

these beautifully crafted books are perfect for children aged six months to six years,

blending vibrant illustrations with simple

engaging text designed for read-aloud moments. Each story brings the wisdom and values of the

Tanakh to life, ideal for bedtime, story time, or quiet learning moments at home. It's more than just

reading, it's a chance for families to bond,

explore Jewish heritage, and spark a lifelong love of learning. The first four books introduce

Ruth, Elieho, Avraham, and Miriam, highlighting core values like loyalty, faith, teaching,

and confidence. A second set featuring Moshe, Esther,

Yonah, and Yael is on the way, with many more to come. Available in paperback and sturdy

board book editions, my first Hanakh stories is the perfect way to begin your child's journey

into our sacred stories. Visit corin pub.com to learn more.
