How Lucky I Am

By: Lawrence Schimel illustrations: Juan Camilo Mayorga

Haggai has his own Labrador dog, and his brother doesn’t have a pet. Haggai can read in the dark, while his brother has to stop reading when the light is switched off. And yet, despite the differences between them, Haggai’s brother is very proud of him. A gentle and touching story that describes the differences between the lives of two brothers, and what is, perhaps surprisingly, visible to those who cannot see.

Age Group: FIRST GRADE

Boaz considers himself lucky: Thanks to his brother Hagay, his family owns a dog, and he enjoys listening to the exciting stories his brother can tell. But… can you really be lucky when you have to be considerate of a brother who can’t see? And can an unseeing person be lucky? Reading this book presents the challenges in the life of a blind child’s brother, while introducing his positive worldview, which looks at the world kindly.

 

Go out and discern which is the proper way to which a man should cling. Rabbi Eliezer says: A good eye.

[Mishnah Avot 2:9]
