About the author

Leah Goldberg (1911-1970), also published as Lea Goldberg, was born in Konigsberg, East Prussia (now Kaliningrad, Russia), and started writing Hebrew verse as a schoolgirl in Kovno. She received a Ph.D in semitic languages from Bonn University, and immigrated to pre-state Israel in 1935. Goldberg was a renowned poet -a member of the Shlonsky group - as well as a successful children-s author, theater critic, translator, and editor. In 1952, she established the Department of Comparative Literature at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and remained its chairperson until her death. Goldberg published nine books of poetry, two novels, three plays, six books of non-fiction, and 20 books for children. Goldberg was awarded many prizes, including the Israel Prize for Literature in 1970.

I adore a children’s book that is both fun to read and delivers a powerful message. Our children are sponges and what they read matters. So, the books with the big messages are the ones that I want to share with my kiddo. These are the books that I flitter back to when I need a bit of inspiration. Yes, for me. Because, let’s be real, some children’s books make for the best self-help / self-discovery tools.

Room for Rent by Leah Goldberg is a classic. It is Israel’s best-selling children’s book and was just recently released for the first time in English. The gorgeous illustrations come from Israeli artist Shmuel Katz and I am just awestruck! This book is such a treat and I am thrilled to add it to our home library. I know Pippa and the rest of our little family will enjoy it time and time again. As a mommy with Jewish heritage, I am especially thrilled to add this one to our favorite books collection.

Room for Rent is a fun read aloud book, a richly illustrated picture book, a life lessons book, a fantastic gift-giving book – a book I can’t recommend enough. Let’s continue to teach our children how to see the great in every different person (or animal)! And friends with children – be prepared to see copies of this one, delivered with love, from yours truly. This book is a treasure.

It’s no surprise that I gave Room for Rent 5/5 stars!

Not only did I love reading this book, but I find myself opening it over and over again just to lick the pages. 5 stars!

Ein Kinderbuch der israelischen Autorin Leah Goldberg, das kindgerecht gegen Vorurteile und für Toleranz und Verständnis für andere Kulturen erzählt. Für zwischendurch eine kurze, aber empfehlenswerte Lektüre. :)

La historia fue bastante simple pero las ilustraciones eran hermosas.

It's as delightful in English as in Hebrew. Jessica Setbon has produced a superb translation. The English, of necessity, is a bit longer than the Hebrew, and the English register is a bit higher than the Hebrew, probably necessitated by constraints of rhythm and rhyme. My grandsons are thrilled with it.

Cute, must read, commonly referenced in pop culture

[Maria · Rating 5 out of 5]

Très belle fable sur le respect, la tolérance et l’amour des autres. On note l’emploi de plusieurs féminins pour des animaux. Ok 3 ans bien passés pour tout comprendre.

Mielas ilgas vaikiškas eilėraštis (skaičiau ir taip nostalgiškai prisiminiau savo vaikystės ilguosius eilėračius-poemas - Palčinskaitės "Visi ką nors turi", Degutytės "Kalėdų pasaką" ir pan.) apie medį-daugiabutį, kuriame atsilaisvina butas ir kaimynai laukia, kas įsikraustys. Visi pretendentai ir pretendentės džiaugiasi butu, bet baisisi kaimynais: Višta - tinginė, Gegutė - pasileidusi, Katė - juoda, Voverė labai triukšmauja. Galiausiai atskrenda Balandis, jam butas nebaisiai patinka, bet kaimynai faini, tai apsigyvena kartu.

Išleista labai gražiai - kaip leporelo, tik dar kiekvienam atvartėlyje papildomai atsiverčia paveiksliukas ir tik tada pasimato tekstas. Gal čia irgi leporelo, tik paturbintas? Labai gražūs piešiniai, labai gražus Nathan Gitkind + Jonyno vertimas. Įdomu, ar patinka šita knygelė vaikams, man buvo tikrai graži.

2 centai, kurių niekas neprašė:

1. Kažin koks šitos knygelės tiražas? Niekur neradau info. Ar ji pasieks vaikus? Metrikoje terašoma, kad knyga skiriama LT ir Izraelio diplomatinių santykių metinėms. Ar čia tiesiog suvenyrinis leidinys?

2. Jei knygelės adresatas vis dėlto vaikai, tai koks jos moralas? Ar kad kiekvienam savo vieta? Ar kad balandis ir pats netvarkingas (taip tarsi užsimenama), tai jam gerai šalia kitų netobulų kaimynų? Gal žydų kultūroje tie gyvūnai turi kitokias konotacijas negu mūsų, gal pvz juoda katė nereiškia nelaimės? Ok, gal ne visos knygos turi turėti moralą, atsiimu klausimą. Bet ar ji ne per trapi kaip vaikams, ar ne per lengvai plyšta popierius? Ar vis dėlto čia tiesiog suvenyras?

3. Apie Lėją Goldberg, žymiąją premijuotą poetę, išgirdau ekskursijoje apie žydišką Kauną, ji turi savo puslapius ir knygoje Moterys, kūrusios lietuvą, ir (nukopijuotoje?) versijoje vaikams Vakaro istorijos Lietuvos mergaitėms. Labai smagu, kad pagaliau yra proga susipažinti su jos kūryba.

4. Būtų labai faina, jei vizitine LT kultūros kortele taptų ne tik Lietuvos žydų, bet ir pvz Lietuvos lenkų paveldas. Gal yra tapęs ir tik aš sėdžiu po akmeniu.


Žvaigždutės - vieną nuėmiau dėl neaiškaus moralo / knygelės tikslo. Bet šiaip labai miela, verta paganyti akis.

Sweet story

This is a delightful story written in rhyme with wonderful drawings. A story with a few important messages that are important Jewish social justice lessons. Treating others nicely, don’t judge another until you walk in their shoes and other ideas for conversation.

[Belle · Rating 5 out of 5]

A wonderful translation and whimsical tale of animal friends in search of a roommate. Beautifully conveys the importance of kindness and appreciating one’s differences, unique qualities and quirks. Perfect for children and beginning/intermediate German language learners
