A Sack Full of Feathers
Description
Gossip spreads like feathers in the wind.
Yankel loves to tell stories, as long as they are someone else's. He does not see the hurt that his stories cause, the way they spread and change. Then the rabbi hands him a bag of feathers and tells him to place one on every doorstep in the village. Yankel is changed by what happens and finds himself with his best story yet, one of his very own.




A wonderful story for the entire family! The illustrations are bright and lively, and the lesson about the dangers of gossip can be applied to social networking sites and to the workplace as well as the classroom. The book also offers rich vocabulary and insights into Jewish culture. Well done!
