The topic about witchcraft is vast with details that may discourage someone with problems. If you go to the doctor and you are told that you have flu, you will not appreciate the doctor telling you about other strings of flu viruses or how it was discovered. At that moment in time, you just want the doctor to prescribe some appropriate medications for you and let you go back home to sleep. This is comparable to the history of witchcraft which dates back to the beginning of human creation. Therefore, it is part of nature; a form of manipulation which fits with cruel intentions. There is no community or society that does not have some dark history related to this matter. It is also part of spiritual and temporal affairs, even to the highest echelon of the society....

"Make the Earth your companion. Walk lightly on it, as other creatures do." With this powerfully reverent refrain, readers are reminded to treat the world around us with the respect it deserves and the care it needs. Mountains, lakes, rivers, grasslands, forests, deserts—even the sky above—all of our natural environs have some message to impart, if we will but listen. Picturesque illustrations imbue the images with mysticism, making visual connections to not only the words themselves but to the feelings of wonder they evoke.

To do something with seven fingers is a Yiddish expression meaning to do something well or adroitly. Marc Chagall was a Russian Jew and a wandering dreamer. From his humble hometown of Vitebsk, Belarus, he went out to take in the world the grandeur of St. Petersburg, the romance of Paris, the freedom of New York. Through wars, Nazi persecution, and the passing of nine decades, he found love, pioneered techniques in modernism, and painted. Above all, he painted. Fourteen of Chagall s works are here vividly reproduced and accompanied by the poems of notable children s writers J. Patrick Lewis and Jane Yolen in this colorful celebration of a most remarkable artist.

Marc Chagall era un ebreo russo e un sognatore errante. Dal piccolo villaggio di Vitebsk se ne andò per il mondo e dal mondo si lasciò ispirare. Dipinse scene fantastiche, illogiche e piene di sfumature, contadini volanti e treni rovesciati, violinisti sui tetti e panorami caleidoscopici di Parigi. In questo libro quattordici tra le più importanti opere di Chagall, accompagnate dalla poesia di due grandi scrittori per l’infanzia, raccontano la vita straordinaria dell’artista in una fusione di colori e versi. L’espressione yiddish “fare qualcosa con sette dita” significa fare le cose bene, con grande abilità.
