When is the moment that the light in a child's eyes goes out? It is the moment when he/she has received so much discouragement at school that he/she has given up. The child is still alive, but there is no more light! That is why this children's book, The Holy Fliers, is so crucial and important! The Holy Fliers story is all about the miracle of encouragement! Encouragement is the motivating force that reignites the light in children's eyes!This story is about one teacher who encourages one student, until the light is rekindled!Woven within the The Holy Fliers story, there is another encouraging story that requires some "out-of-the-box" thinking. When a group of Hasidim want to say the blessings for the new moon, and are stymied because of dark clouds, it is their Rebbe who encourages them to see the light in a very creative way, even when the clouds cover the light.***Do you know someone who needs to be encouraged? Do you know someone who needs to be reminded that they still have light in their eyes? The Holy Fliers is a book for them.
