מוצץ המזל

by Uri Orlev, אורי אורלב, אלונה פרנקל (Illustrator)

לאיתמר יש מוצץ אחד, יחיד ומיוחד ורך במיוחד,
שהוא לא מוכן לוותר עליו.

לאיתמר יש דוד אחד, שבא לביקור מאמריקה
וגם לו יש מוצץ.
מוצץ מזל!

ואז... שוד ושבר! מוצץ המזל נעלם!
איך יחזור הדוד בשלום לאמריקה
בלי מוצץ המזל שלו?!?

About the author

Uri Orlev (Hebrew: אורי אורלב‎; born Jerzy Henryk Orlowski in 1931) is an award-winning Israeli children's author and translator of Polish-Jewish origin. Born in Warsaw, Poland, he survived the war years in the Warsaw Ghetto and the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp (where he was sent after his mother was shot by the Nazis). After the war he moved to Israel. He began writing children's literature in 1976 and has since published over 30 books, which are often biographical. His books have been translated from Hebrew into 25 languages, while he himself has also translated Polish literature into Hebrew. One of his most famous books, which was also adapted as a play and as a film, is the semi-autobiographical The Island on Bird Street.

In 1996 Orlev received the Hans Christian Andersen Award for children's literature.
