My Yehidah: A Journal into the Story of You Reviews

  Pulling ideas and inspiration from her middle-grade novel, Six Weeks to Yehidah, Melissa Studdard, along with Cheryl Kelley, has created an interactive book in which the reader is invited to ponder these ideas, reactions to and connections between them. My Yehidah is an orchard of words and images to feed the imagination and a meadow of blank spaces to meander through while sketching, coloring, painting, collaging, and writing. After reading the captions and following the writing prompts, the reader's thoughts and feelings are taken on a journey from mind to page that is both adventurous and creative. Once completed, it can be a resource to return to again and again not only to see where you began, but also to ignite more exploration and contemplation about where you are, how you arrived there, and where to head next.Whether you roam My Yehidah on its own or after reading Six Weeks to Yehidah, whether you are young or old, whether you go alone or with a group, a journey through its pages is time well spent.

  First Melissa Studdard gave us her delightful novel Six Weeks to Yehidah, a rollicking fable of a ten-year-old girl’s adventures in self-discovery. Now talented artist Cheryl Kelley has come along to add visual shape to Ms. Studdard’s imaginative tale. Together the two women have crafted a companion volume to the novel , called My Yehidah. Filled with illustrations, pictures to color, and insightful written exercises, this clever book guides young readers through their own voyage of discovery, showing them the wise place within us all that makes us who we are. My Yehidah is a fun and valuable learning tool designed to demonstrate that we and the myriad aspects of Creation are, after all, one.

  Joyful, profound and accessible, "My Yehidah" gently inspires seekers on a journey into their deepest dreams through the magical power of writing, art and imagination. "My Yehidah" is the young explorer's perfect companion in living rooms, classrooms and camps.
  
  If a powerful genie or wizard were to transform me into a child again, I think that with this book, I would soon learn how to transform myself back into an adult--assuming I wanted to. Using "My Yehida" as a catalyst, children (of all ages!) will discover that one's imagination is infinite and that the universe itself is more accessible.

  My Yehidah is a companion piece to Six Weeks to Yehidah, and it contains activities and questions, that ask readers to think about themselves. Also contained in this work are illustrations that give visual symbols about what some of the terms used are in Six Weeks to Yehidah. So, this review will be more of me answering those questions...well some of them. It's not very long and can be read rather quickly, though if you choose to do the activities maybe longer.I think this a great book for self-evaluation, and would recommend to any age. You are your greatest inspiration.

  My Yedidah a journey into the story, is the accompanying book to Six Weeks to Yehidah, a delightful treat. It is full of colouring pages and questions with spaces provided to write the answers. Although my daughter is seven, she had a good time colouring the deifferent illustrations in this book. A real treat indead!
