Green Bean Books has a clear mission: publishing
beautiful children’s stories with Jewish content.
As well as reviving classic works by authors
including I. L. Peretz and Isaac Bashevis Singer,
we try to bring you original works by awardwinning writers and ground-breaking illustrators.
We are particularly proud to have established an annual European
book award for authors and illustrators – check our website for
details – and happy to have pushed the boundaries in terms of
what can be done. This Is My Shabbat is the first Jewish children’s
book ever published with Braille throughout, and Harry Walks the
High-Wire is a concertina book that folds out to four metres wide.
A couple of cookbooks have stormed onto the list too, because
we can’t resist great Jewish food.
