From the Author
‘While I’ve envisioned myself doing many things in this life, writing children’s books was never one of them…Raising kids makes most people, including myself, grow up at least a little. It also makes us more responsible and more thoughtful about our own actions and their consequences for those around us…I hope these chiLdren’s books inspire kids of all ages – even grown-up ones. This book was inspired by a nearly 300-year-old story that was told to me by my Kabbalah teacher. It is about the power of words. And how we must choose them carefully to avoid causing harm to others.

The Baal Shem Tov – MASTER OF THE GOOD NAME – who was the author of the original story, was also a great teacher. He dedicated his life to heping others, and stressed the value and importance of love for all people. I hope that I have done his story justice. This book is dedicated to teachers everywhere’- Madonna –This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
