Has anyone ever seen a picture book version of the Bible story of Micah?
Micah is 90% mega-depressing which doesn't really make a great picture
book unless you're Tim Burton. On the other hand, the final word of the
story boils down to the downfall of nations through the oppression of
farmers (combined with the usual attendant corruption, bla bla bla...).
Which, now that I'm thinking out loud on it, is kind of cool.
Micah might make a pretty good ecology,
appreciate-the-farmer-3-times-a-day, with a back-to-the-land,
land-conservation, crop-rotation twist which would be great to read as a
companion story to Ruth at Shavuot. The picture book could also be a
show-and-tell for the kids on how to plant a little garden with the
adults right there on the synagogue property not far from the row of Tu
biShvat trees. If the synagogue doesn't have a plot they could go to the
public planting gardens that many cities offer today; or if worst turned
to down-right horrible, vegetable seeds could be planted in planters.
