'Dana's Finger Is Set Free', will help your child/children to get rid of their thumb-sucking habit easily.

"When Dana was a baby she had pacifiers in all kinds of colors, but Dana did not want any of these pacifiers, Dana only wanted her finger… "

This is a true story about Dana, a kindergarten girl, that could not take out her finger from her mouth until it became wrinkled and had a crushed nail! However, once her mother transferred the responsibility for the finger to Dana - She had succeeded in her mission and Dana's finger was set free.

From the reviewers: "… Vered’s mission to inform children and their parents about the dangers and consequences of finger sucking is well accomplished in this interactive story. This is both a fine story and a PLAN! Recommended… "

"… The story is interesting and fun to read, the message is significant and perhaps even lifesaving. Sucking the thumb can lead not only to crooked teeth but to unwanted future behavior, such as the need to put something in one’s mouth, perhaps cigarettes. In this age of coronavirus, it can lead to a serious illness. In the story, the young child fails to give up her habit of thumb sucking. But then her mother thinks of an idea that may work. And it does. It is an idea that other parents will want to adopt… "

In these days of the Coronavirus, where it is recommended not to touch your face, getting rid of a thumb-sucking habit is not only very important, it's a must!

Good luck!

The people who lived in that small village, were quiet and immersed in their thought.

So, how did it turn into one that manufactured ice-cream in the form of clouds?

How did it happen? Why is it important to invent and produce new products?

This is the story of Cone, Ice-cream Bar (or for short- Barry) and Vanilla

who initiated and founded together the clouds ice-cream in that village. Their story illustrates for us how a collaboration contributes to the development of initiative and industry.

From the book:

"In a village, by the sea, lived quiet people. So quiet were they,

That is the background one could hear only the whisper of the waves

that emerged from the sea.

Why were they so quiet?

Because they were constantly preoccupied with their thoughts:

What more they can invent and then implement it.

Ice Cream Clouds

This is a true and exciting story about two children, two countries and one friendship.

"Zhao Yang was born in a great and mysterious country – China.

He lived there with his family, in all kinds of weather.

Shahar was born in a small and unique country – Israel.

He traveled to China with his parents to study, tour and enjoy. One day, they encountered each other on a street in China. Both were licking sweet, pink ice cream. They looked at each other silently and curiously, for not only did they not know each other, but they could see that they really did not look alike – they were so very different. They liked playing the same games, and they cried the same tears when saying goodbye, but they lived in worlds so far apart from each other, worlds in which children live who are so dissimilar and yet so very similar.

"Two Worlds, One Child’s Heart" was Nominated for DBW18 Award at the category Interactive Fiction.

This is a book describing friendship between children from different cultures. Even though seemingly they are different it turns out there are similarities.

A Chubby, Orange Elephant

A story about thoughts, dreams, feelings and the ability to choose.

"The world belongs to me and to everyone else.

It belongs to all the children, as well as to myself.

Each and every child is an entire universe of things,

with different thoughts, dreams and feelings they bring.

I did not choose who my parents would be,

nor did I choose the day I’d be born me.

I did not choose the name I was given,

nor was I part of anything about that decision.

I did not choose who my siblings would be,

or the color of my hair or eyes actually.

In fact, I had no part of entering into this world,

or of anything else before that which occurred.

However, I can choose my friends and what to say,

I can choose how to behave each and every day.

I can choose to do my homework if and when I please,

I can choose to give even if I don’t always receive..."

A story about thoughts, dreams, feelings and the ability to choose.

One Child - A Whole Universe

"Dan had been biting his nails for as long as he could remember. It began at night time with his mother saying goodnight to him and turning off the light; he felt alone in his big, dark room. As he grew older and he felt a little nervous or agitated, like at the beginning of the school year, his nails would always make their way into his mouth. In the beginning, Dan's thumbnail was his favorite to chew. However, once he was finished chewing that nail and there was nothing left of it, he would move onto the rest of his fingernails. Slowly but surely, he would bite another fingernail, or even two. By the time he was 10-years old, every single fingernail of his had been completely bitten off. 

One day Dan realized that his habit was a vicious circle that he was not able to break. He did not want to bite his nails, yet it provided him with comfort and soothed him. Feeling disappointed and discouraged with himself, he turned to his mother for help...."

"...Dan's mother knew that the first step to helping Dan break his habit was for him to really want it himself. "First, in order for you to stop biting your fingernails, you have to really, really want to break the habit, and then we can start to build a plan. When you really, truly want to, let me know!" she told Dan, walking away. Dan said, "I have made up my mind. I want to get rid of this bad habit of mine. I want to. I really want to!" And so together, Dan and his mother decided on a special plan to help Dan break his nail-biting habit. Dan's mother suggested, "We will divide the next two weeks into a plan of action, just as if you were training for a running competition. The first step is for you to define what your goal is and write it down."

"Ok, well my goal is simple. I want to stop biting my fingernails," Dan explained his mother, and she grinned. Seeing her grin, Dan added, "Ok, well maybe it’s not so simple, but I can do it... but I can do it."
