The "Touch and Feel" book

 Our daughter Rivky came to me this week with yet another book she was writing and illustrating.... While looking through the pages, I realized that one of the pages was wrinkled. Here is Rivky's explanation:  

“After cutting the pages for my new book, and stapling it together, I spilled by mistake a cup of water on the table, which wetted that page, so I decided to turn it into a ‘Touch and Feel’ book, and that page will talk about water that was spilled”.

Children are sometimes our best teachers. What a beautiful lesson of how to turn our errors and failures into advantages! We all spill every once in a while. We can be upset about it, or we can have the wisdom to turn it into another beautiful page in the magnificent book of our lives.

Don't cry on milk that you spilled. Turn it into joy!
