My Uncle Simha

“I see myself as a child even when I write for adults, the worlds of a child and poet are similar: A child can play, look at things with no mediation, directly, without any barriers…”
[S. Shifra, Interview with Ayin Hillel, Davar, May 1973]

Uncle Simha has a fresh and happy worldview, sings wholeheartedly, and loves both animals and life itself. The My Uncle Simha stories have become Hebrew children’s literature classics, and are now presented to the younger generation of readers for delightful reading.
