A Celebration of Sheldon Oberman
May 7, 7:00 pm in the Atrium
Join the family of Sheldon Oberman for The Wind That Wanted to Rest.
An old and tired winter wind is searching for a place to rest. Wherever he goes, the wind is turned away, until his pain fuels a raging storm. Then he meets a good-hearted child who offers him a place to stay, and in gratitude the old wind leaves the child a legacy.
A timeless tale about the good that flows from kindness and understanding.
Sheldon Oberman wrote two Sydney Taylor Honor Award-winning books, The Wisdom Bird and The Always Prayer Shawl, which also won a National Jewish Book Award.
Neil Waldman’s stunning art evokes the world of old Russia, where the story originated.
