The Treasure

Author : Uri Shulevitz

Genre : Children’s Books

Another favorite of mine, and a children’s story similar to The Alchemist. Sometimes honor books are as good as the winner. In a few words, Caldecott Honor winner Uri Shulevitz illustrates the story of a man who has faith in a dream, and is wise enough to understand the greatest reward of all.

Three times a voice comes to Isaac in his dreams and tells him to go to the capital city and look for a treasure under the bridge by the royal palace. Feeling a little foolish perhaps, but determined to see for himself if the dream is true, Isaac sets out on his long journey. What he finds makes a surprising and heart-warming ending to this retelling of a well-known folk tale.
