Great Stories about Good Middos

Yael, Yehuda, Baruch, and Avi are back—with interesting bedtime stories from their Abba and Ima. So sit down and listen, and soon you’ll agree: If you just want to be better, you can do it!

This book is about good middos. Or, more specifically, about how to overcome bad middos. Young readers will relate to the characters as they face the same kinds of situations the readers themselves face daily. Parents will appreciate the subtle, gentle messages threaded through the stories, and savor the midrashim that provide parents with extra tools for helping their children overcome bad habits.

With charming, true-to-life illustrations, quotes from the Torah, and midrashim from Chazal, Tirtsa Peleg has produced this innovative creation— a wonderful and engaging encounter between paintbrush and pen. The stories in this book are about everyday life. Here children and parents will find new paths for navigating the journey of life — together. 

Tirtsa Peleg, a gifted writer, translator, and illustrator, has been illustrating for children for almost 40 years. She has published over 250 popular books on a wide range of topics. This book continues the valuable lessons found in her previous bestseller It All Begins at Home.
