Description
"And so, quietly, eyes shut,babies drop into the world,like rain falling in the darkfrom a gigantic hand into shafts,into a spider’s tent, a cold apple."

Zarchi, who now lives in Tel Aviv, is one of Israel’s best-known children’s authors and has published eight collections of poetry, two collections of short stories, and a collection of essays.
