English Summary/英文概要： This enchanting book has a simple message, deep within every person lives a soul bird, a creature who has thoughts, feelings, and dreams. Sometimes we can tell the soul bird what to feel. Sometimes it decides all by itself. With delightful drawings and poetic text, this book teaches us to listen to our soul bird and find out more about our true selves. When we hear the message of the soul bird, we understand why we behave the way we do. And once we understand our behavior, we can begin to live a happier, more fulfilling life. First published in Israel, The Soul Bird was an instant bestseller. Over the years its magic has spread around the globe, appealing to readers of all ages.
"The Soul Bird"
The relationship between ourselves and our soul is explained in this gentle, poetic story, which was written for children and has since become an international bestseller for all ages. With 400,000 copies sold in the author’s own country of Israel, out of a population of 5 million, The Soul Bird has now been translated into more than 25 languages. Its appeal is similar to that of St Exupery’s The Little Prince, using the simple language of childhood to convey a deeper philosophical message for us all.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 這本具有魔力的小書傳遞著一個簡單的訊息：每個人的心靈深處都住著一隻「靈鳥」，它是隻有思想、感受及夢想的生物。有時我們可以告訴「靈鳥」去感覺什麼，有時它會自己決定感覺所有的一切。本書以可愛的圖畫及充滿詩意的文字教導我們請聽我們內心深處的「靈鳥」並發現更多真實的自己。當我們多聽「靈鳥」的話語，將更了解我們所作所為的原因，而一但我們了解自己的行為及態度，我們便能生活的更快樂及圓滿。
