Description
A joyous modern-day twist on a Wise Men of Chelm folktale written by a fresh Jewish voice filled with humor, some juicy Yiddish terms, and smart, savvy kids brimming with innovative solutions. In The Schlemiel Kids Save the Moon, the foolish adults of Chelm believe the moon has fallen into the lake. It's up to the extremely clever Schlemiel siblings to save the day (er, night). This story will introduce readers to the fun, humor, and cleverness of Jewish folktales. A brief introduction to the Chelm stories and a Yiddish glossary provide grounding for all readers, whether new to the stories or lifelong fans. The hilariously foolish Wise Men of Chelm come from classic Yiddish folktales. It is said that in the early days of creation, God told an angel to sprinkle foolish souls evenly around the world. But the angel dropped his bag, and all of those fools spilled out into Chelm. Isaac Bashevis Singer introduced many English speakers to the Chelm stories, but he focused on the adults. What about the kids of Chelm? Meet Sarah and Sam, who devise a brilliant plan to convince the grown-ups that their fears of a fallen moon are unfounded. Teamwork, innovation, and lots of patience prove infinitely more effective than those silly old ways of thinking. Here is a book that will expand young readers' knowledge of Jewish culture beyond holidays, history, and the Holocaust.
