In this soon-to-be classic tale, readers of all ages will be carried away by a group of courageous children, united in their quest to melt the walls of fear in people’s hearts. With enchanting illustrations and lyrical prose, Lilian Weisberger’s The Magical Children of Light weaves a tapestry of magic and wisdom that transcends cultural boundaries. When Gali decides to go behind the forbidden wall on her ninth birthday, she discovers a world very similar to her own, with children playing in the streets, a bustling market, and friendly faces. However, a chance encounter with a young boy named Tarek melts away her fear of the other side. The Magical Children of Light invite us to embark on an extraordinary adventure of friendship, courage, and imagination. Join Gali, Tarek, and their inspiring children’s movement as they fulfill their shared dream of a world where joy and love prevail over fear and prejudice. "The story of The Magical Children of Light serves as a powerful reminder of the transformative power of love, capable of dismantling the walls of fear within our hearts. The tale follows a young girl who dreams of exploring what lies beyond the wall and her encounter with a boy, as they lead a movement among children to fulfill their shared dream. I hope that the ripples of this beautiful story reach all individuals who inhabit Mother Earth, reminding us that there are no monsters on the other side of the wall, only "lost children in grown-up bodies" seeking love, just like us. It is a heartfelt reminder that we are all Magical Children of Light." - Leymah Gbowee, 2011 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate. "I can confidently say that the book The Magical Children of Light is an immense source of inspiration for me. It served as the catalyst for writing my song, "Prayers of the Mothers." It was during my introduction to the book by Lili that I first encountered the term "Walls of Fear." This was a transformative moment for me as I delved into Lili's story and discovered a shared vision between us. This realization deeply moved me, as I came to recognize that the walls dividing people are actually manifestations of fear that live also within me. I eagerly anticipate its release and am filled with excitement knowing that this book will reach an expanding audience of children worldwide, nurturing seeds of peace and love within their hearts." - Yael Deckelbaum - singer-songwriter & peace activist "In her charming fable, The Magical Children of Light, Lilian Weisberger encapsulates a fundamental truth that has been sung by The Beatles: 'The love you take is equal to the love you make.' The story beautifully illustrates this concept through the children's creation of heart-shaped candles, where the more they give love, the more love they receive in return. Perhaps a way to engage adults, or 'lost children in the grownups' bodies,' as Lilian aptly calls them, is by explaining the positive ROI ("Return On Investment") that love offers. Sometimes, the simplest truths elude us, and it takes a child or a story like this to highlight them." - Hanoch Piven, artist and educator. "The Magical Children of Light is a beacon of optimism in these pessimistic times. It inspires wonder and hope, reminiscent of our favorite fairy tales, as the children in the story discover profound insights and truths before the adults do. They pave the way and pass on their knowledge to the grown-ups. I hope that stories like this will empower children to follow their pure instincts, free from stereotypes, and teach us, the adults, to learn wisdom from them, enabling us to build a better world." - Professor Haula Abu Bakar, leading researcher of mental health and gender in Arab society. "The book The Magical Children of Light portrays the love and peace that reside within our hearts. Through the eyes of two children, Gali and Tareq, the story encourages us to dream, hope, and seek better understanding among conflicting factions. It urges us to overcome the fear of 'the other' that exists within ourselves. Lili is an authentic visionary and a true embodiment of female empowerment. Through her book, she teaches us not to fear the power of love." - Esther Guluma, former UNICEF Regional Director for West and Central Africa. "As I grow older, I realize that children possess a special gift bestowed upon them by the Divine energy that created the universe: optimism. This gift resides within all children, enabling them to explore fearlessly, challenge our reality with wonder, and, most importantly, love in the face of fear and uncertainty. Love is the ultimate power, transcending hate, fear, and anger. Children can uniquely remind us, adults, of this magical power that resides within each of us. Children of all ages possess the power to love our neighbors, should we choose to follow the example of The Magical Children of Light. - Jeff Parness, Founder, New York Says Thank You Foundation - Stars of HOPE Healing Arts Program.
