When
the Shark and The Fish First Met

|
|
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 soldier 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.
The exhibition
will continue to be exhibited in other parts
of Israel
At the moment
it is exhibited in Beit Arieela in Tel Aviv,
until the end of August
The parents of Gilad are inviting
children to illustrate Gilad's
story. |
