An old man, almost one hundred years old, comes outside to plant a fig tree. Hadrian stops his horse. What are you doing?' he asks the old man. That tree is so small and you are so old!? Surely you won't live long enough to eat its fruit!' The old man responds: if I don't then my children will'. Three years later, Hadrian returns. Meeting the old man again, he is shocked to see that the tree has grown and it is covered in figs. The old man's prophecy of gifts for future generations has come true. Recreating one of the Midrash's most beautiful tales, A Basket of Figs teaches the importance of caring for the environment and consideration for our fellow human beings. Ori Alon's enchanting storytelling and Menahem Halberstadt's stunning illustrations bring this wise fable to life on the page, to inspire and delight young readers.

Animals live in a world that is free of these thoughts. Now, in our story, a flamingo and a frog are cousins. Isn't that beautiful? Our children are very familiar with animal stories, but these classic fairy tales implant so many prejudices in our children. Let's knock down these prejudices together. We are setting off on a journey of extraordinary animal friendships. The new century needs new fairy tales because change is everywhere. Our main goal is to make reading a fun activity. Helping us to achieve this goal are the wonderful animals in our books, and you, our readers' parents. Together, we can tell stories that teach our children far more than can be found in a book that is strictly educational. Children like reading the same book again and again. At Dixi Books, we are publishing stories that you will also enjoy reading again. Every time you turn a page, new discoveries are there to be made.
