The book opens with a poem. Appearing before a wise rabbi, a woman who has damaged the reputation of another insincerely vows to make amends: &#8216;I will take back my words\u2026.&#8217; The rabbi, fearing that she has not learned her lesson, instructs her to gather all the feathers released into the wind from a feather pillow.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Forest&#8217;s retelling is simple and elegant, using some dialogue and spare descriptions. Cutch\u00edn&#8217;s bright watercolor illustrations fill in the Eastern European setting well, using varying and fresh perspectives. Brightly colored feathers play prominently across the pages. The artist&#8217;s style is rich in detail, but her people appear somewhat wooden. Still, this is an entertaining tale, ably retold, with a timeless lesson<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This retelling of an 18th-century tale attributed to Rabbi Levi Yitzhak of Berdichev explores the cruel and uncontrollable nature of gossip.
