Yael reads Yael's House

Yael's been working very hard to speak Hebrew to Yoni. This includes reading stories in Hebrew from books Safta Aviva has given him. One of Yoni's (and Yael's) favorite stories is about a little girl named Yael who tries to find a new play house to live in. After graduating from the houses you'd typically expect a child to "live" in (e.g. under the dining room table), she looks for more adventuresome housing outside the house. Every time she finds a new place she asks: "Who lives here? A cat, a dog, a horse. . ?" etc.

Below is a short movie of Yoni enjoying story time with his Eema. Enjoy. . .

This is extremely cute - thanks for posting it. I think Yoni shows great promise as a literary critic and will follow in his Auntie's footsteps as a literature major.

The casting for his film is incomparable. Both characters — the mother and baby — seems enthralled with the story and the act of story-telling. It is especially charming that the producer chose to avoid intrusive subtitles.
