Advance Praise
This charming and enchanting aleph-bet book, created so lovingly by Debra Band, offers magnificent illuminations and text that can be appreciated by the youngest child while offering a multi-faceted vehicle for Torah study for students of all ages and backgrounds. What a wonderful source of inspiration for havurah discussions and a sweet introduction to Jewish study with my young grandchildren!...
Alma Hadash Geiger, Director Emerita, Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center
"An illuminated Hebrew alef-bet to dance between ancient story and modern spirit, this book is a gift for the imagination"...Shira Kline, ShirLaLa performance and ritual artist.
"A wonderful and charming Hebrew alphabet primer for art-loving adults. As with all of Debra Band's work, a combining of beautiful, delicate, artistic expression and thoughtful readings of tradition. A magnificent gift for anyone who loves Hebrew!" Rabbi Arthur Green, Rector, Rabbinical School, Hebrew College, author, The Heart of the Matter: Studies in Jewish Mysticism and Theology.
"In All the World Praises You!, Debra Band has created a book for children age 1 to 120. Every page is a visual feast
built around one letter of the Hebrew alphabet. For a child learning to read Hebrew, there is the letter itself, an opportunity to sound it out, and a vocabulary word that is part of the book's exploration of Perek Shira. What is striking to me is that accessibility of the book to a wide range of ages, backgrounds, religious observance and Jewish identity. From a young learner through to an expert in Hebrew language and text, the beautiful artwork is alive with energy and allegory....Jonathan Cannon, Head of School, The RAMAZ School.

A book about the Hebrew alphabet. The illustrations are wonderful and breathtaking.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley
All the World Praises You! An Illuminated Aleph-Bet Book is a wonderful celebration of God, scripture, and creation. Debra Band's paintings, accompanied by Arnold J. Band's translations and transliterations of brief passages from the Hebrew Bible, take the reader through the letters of the Hebrew alphabet.
The painting are beautiful depictions of plants, animals, landscapes, and sky. Each has the scripture written in both English and Hebrew in calligraphy. I especially like the fact that, at the end, Band includes additional information, like the scriptures reference and the background and symbolism in each painting.
Like any good children's book, All the World Praises You can be enjoyed on many levels by children and adults alike. This book will inspire in all readers a deeper love for God, his word, and his creation.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the complimentary electronic review copy!
