A profound story. (h/t from Kittybowtie) :
The story "When the Shark and The Fish First Met" was written by Gilad Schalit in 1997,
when he was 11 years old, in fifth grade.
The symbolic story tells of the meeting between a young fish and shark who decide to be friends despite the tension and natural enmity between the two.
The Israeli Illustrators' Association, in coordination with the initiator, "The Edge Gallery" in Nahariya, has decided to take advantage of this story as a way to keep the kidnapped soldiers in the public eye. They have illustrated Gilad's story, each in his own style. Their illustrations will be exhibited in a show, opening at "The Edge Gallery" in Nahariya on November 17, 2007. There is a possibility that this show will continue in other parts of Israel as well.
The parents of Gilad, are inviting Israeli children and you too, to illustrate Gilad's story. Here is the website.
