"The Tune of Life" is a bilingual book in Hebrew and in Arabic for children. It goes through stages of a child's development in understanding life, and is based on the process of learning to play an instrument. Life and Music are seen as one interchangeable entity. Here are two examples of parallels made in the book between music and life: Just as a player should constantly read ahead in their music notes, so should we look forward in life - mentally as well as visually. The freedom of choice a musician has to choose the correct tempo for their piece can be paralleled to the freedom we have in life to decide on the pace of our journey, whether we are walking, playing or working on a project. Each reader will understand the text according to their age and experience, and the book can be re-read again and again while each time further enriching the reader's understanding of life.
The book can serve as a starting point for a discussion between a child and parent or between a child and a psychologist as well as a book to inspire older children to reflect over their lives. It encompasses subjects such our attitude towards challenges, friendships and about ourselves. It leads to positive thinking, confidence, exploration, curiosity and more. In a world constantly moving at a faster pace, The Tune of Life can be a reminder of what is most important in life while giving the reader tranquility and reason through the artwork, music and meditative text.
Children as young as 5 years old will enjoy reading the book with their parents or caretakers, and also adults will enjoy the depth of ideas, music soundtrack and artwork. The book is growing day by day and soon augmented reality will be added to the reader's experience.
