A magical story based on the idea of “pay-it-forward”!

As he discovers writing, Nitai decides to write a letter to his mother. His words are passed on from one person to another and magically touch them in a very meaningful way. The story is told from a unique point of view that of the letter – and thus follows the letter’s journey from one person to the next, intensifying the magical qualities of the story. The Magical Letter is a book for anyone who has ever had something to say, but never dared say it out loud. A story that inspires children to believe in the power of their own words, their importance and the impact they can have on others. Its powerful message will continue to emanate long after they have put it down.

This book is an open-ended invitation for teachers and parents to empower their children to express themselves and write their own letters. To communicate what is on their mind as well as in their hearts, knowing that whatever they write will be taken wholeheartedly and with rippling effects.
