A Beautiful World takes young readers through the story of the creation of the world. The book begins in darkness, but we are soon introduced to a magic paintbrush. With the help of this paintbrush, the world can begin to be formed, and readers are invited to follow along.

Firstly, the darkness is colored blue - light has been created, which soon gives way to water. Water gives way to land, which makes room for the moon and the stars, which allow for birds, fish and animals to be created.

With the help of the magic paintbrush, the whole world is soon formed, but it is missing one vital element: "you!". The young reader, invited to look into the mirror foil on the last page of the book, completes this picture of the world and the story of its creation.

With the story and illustrations designed and drawn up years ago by renowned Israeli artist Paul Kor, A Beautiful World has been a long time coming and is keenly anticipated. Yael Gover's simple yet informative and engaging text complements Kor's vibrant illustrations perfectly, this partnership making for an exceptional work of children's literature.

The book is notable for the way it invites children to be creative and use their imagination: the act of art is shown as a beautiful act of creation, and vice-versa. The message of the book is a simple one: that we have the power to create beauty.

This is a wholly unique book, made even more so by the fact that it recently made it into space! Israeli astronaut Eitan Stiva chose the book to take into space, where he read an edition of the work printed especially for the occasion - a spectacular journey for a spectacular book.
