With two independent titles already under her belt as an illustrator, Gefen has always let her imagination roam free, drawing inspiration from a childhood spent exploring nature. Her debut picture book, A Day Away, didn't start with words, but with a spark of visual exploration that eventually found its rhythm in rhyme.The story itself has been on quite a journey. Originally written when her son, Yonatan, was just four years old, the manuscript spent nearly a decade napping in a drawer while life and career kept Gefen busy. But good stories wait for their moment. That moment arrived when Yonatan-now thirteen-teamed up with his mom to translate the book into English. This heartwarming collaboration brings the project full circle, blending Gefen's artistic vision with a family bond that proves creativity is best when shared.","brand":"Pine \u0026 Sky","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52160022184210,"sku":"9798994226308","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_2d121bd1-0750-4716-9c53-ebd2e63616ed.jpg?v=1775031145","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/a-day-away-the-adventure-of-mr-turtle-9798994226308","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
