Hello, Hello, Are You There, God?

How do we explain to young children such concepts as learning, belonging, and God? How do we teach them to value themselves and the tradition of which they are a part? How do we instill in them a sense of Jewish identity? Through the magic of storytelling, Molly Cone accomplishes all these tasks and more.

Hello Hello Are you There God?

This is a delightful and beautifully illustrated book. A great resource to use when teaching concepts such as "Why can't I see God?", concepts of prayer and connecting to God and the importance of the Shema in Judaism.

Great first book about God

This book has several stories in it, each one illustrated with a nice picture. Some of them are probably appropriate for slightly older children, but two of them have been very much enjoyed by my 4 year old son. One story describes a fish who wants to know what water is,as a way of understanding God's presence even though we can't see God. Another story is about a little mouse learning about love. Highly recommended.
