"Serious criticism in the field of Jewish children'sliterature is so rare that when it appears, it is noteworthy. Rabbi Hara E.Person is the Editor-in-Chief of URJ Press. Diane G.

Highly recommended."- Jewish Book World, Winter 2005, "...this is a ratherscholarly, albeit interesting book.

Lothrop, School Library Journal, "In a beautifully written and readable monograph, the authors explore the ways in which tales of biblical heroes and heroines have been and might be presented to children. Informed by psychoanalytical and folkloristic orientations, the work concentrates on biblical characters whose stories exemplify particular sorts of life passages and choices. The authors' emphasis on emotional development and their attention to the richness and complexity of the tradition make their study a valuable resource for parents and teachers. The work, however, will enrich all who enjoy exploring biblical narrative in the context of comparable world literature and the human experience."Dr. Susan Niditch, Samuel Green Professor of Religion, Amherst College, "The Persons perceptively explore the meanings and analyze recent retellings of seven narratives from the Hebrew Bible: creation, Noah, Joseph, Moses, David, Jonah, and Esther.

Inthis wonderful volume, Hara and Diane Person make a compelling case forthe power of Biblical stories to teach our children ethical lessons,provide them with inspiring but real-life heroes, and help them growemotionally. A scholarly work that is readily accessible to a generalreadership, it will hopefully convince parents to start reading their children the Bible stories that have fascinated and instructed young people for thousands of years."Rabbi Eric H.

Synopsis
Stories of Heaven and Earth is intended to be a helpful resource for parents, librarians, teachers, and clergy. It offers a critical examination of children's picture books based on stories from the Old Testament, as well as an analysis of these stories as powerful tales of emotional development. The book focuses on a select group of well-known biblical characters, including Adam and Eve, Noah, Moses, Joseph, David, Jonah and Esther. In this original work, the authors make a cogent argument for why these stories matter. Emphasis is placed on the power of these stories as a source of literature rich in universal archetypes, ethical dilemmas, decision-making, rites-of-passage, and emotional growth. Drawing on connections to familiar fairy tales, folklore and mythology through the work of scholars like Joseph Campbell and Bruno Bettelheim, as well as the work of recognized theorists in the fields of child development and children's literature, the authors show how Bible Stories offer children critically important models of the journey from childhood into adulthood, from dependence to independence. Stories of Heaven and Earth shows how bible stories allow children to become the heroes of their own lives as they make the difficult but essential transition from childhood to adolescence and into adulthood., Stories of Heaven and Earth is intended to be a helpful resource for parents, librarians, teachers, and clergy.
