A vibrantly illustrated tale about perseverance, kindness and friendship by one of the most beloved Israeli children’s authors
It’s playtime at Rainbow Kindergarten and Lily is trying to set a new record for standing on one leg – just like the graceful storks that visit the playground. But no matter how hard Lily tries she keeps toppling over. When her friend Hillel joins the game, the race is on to be the first to beat the record. Will Lily be prepared to do whatever it takes to claim victory?

‘Lily want to break her record for standing on one leg. And when it looks like fellow kindergarten pupil Hillel is going to balance for longer than her, she knocks him over. But then she makes a touching discovery — and that changes everything. On One Foot by Rinat Primo and Yael Albert, translated by June Amikram, is a feelgood (but true to playground life and non-preachy) tale, inspired by Ecclesiastes: “If one person falls, another can reach out and help. But someone who falls along has no-one to catch them.”'
Angela Kiverstein, The Jewish Chronicle
