Yirmi Pinkus – illustratör

A whimsical and engaging story children's book that explores the important life lessons of simplicity and happiness. Is there such a thing as too much? Absurdity abounds when a man tries to live in his house of, not 10, not 50, but 100 rooms! How can he sleep when his curtains are in his curtain room, but his bed is in his bed room? How can he eat when his forks are in his fork room but his table is in his table room? Ultimately both our hero, and the reader, realize just how much is enough. As we continue to navigate our society's consumer culture, the themes in this book are an important reminder, to both kids and adults, that “more” is not always “better.” This fun and colorful book was a Foreword Reviews Indie Book of the Year Finalist, the illustrations were included in the Original Art Exhibit at the Society of Illustrators in New York City, and it was one of Tablet Magazine’s Best Jewish Children’s Books of 2024. A free downloadable activity guide that highlights the themes in this book is available on the Kalaniot Books website.
