The Koren My First Tanakh Stories brings the characters and wisdom of Torah to to life for the whole family. Engaging with Tanakh stories from a young age with a trusted grown-up sets a child's foundation for future learning, helps develop core values, and sets a foundation for Torah learning in the home and with the family. With a story loyal to the Tanakh text alongside beautiful illustrations, every page is designed to be appealing and engaging to adults and children alike while sparking an intergenerational discussion of Torah values. Each book includes a "Guide for Grown-ups", with a child-friendly glossary (including an explanation of Hebrew terms used in the story) and a series of reflective questions to launch intergenerational conversations about the story and its message.
