In this wonderful little thought-provoking book from 2014, the lion scheduled a big meeting in the forest and invited all the animals.  Abundant orange juice was available for all, as were cups, but the cups differed from pretty to plain.  Of course, the pretty ones went first.  As jealousy would have it, the animals began to eye what each other had to see who had the best, but the importance was in the sweet orange juice, not the container it was in.  So as it is with life.  The importance is not in what material possessions we have, but in the non-materialistic things like friends,family and health. The author uses a wonderful analogy to illustrate the important things of live over materialistic possessions -- the Juice of Life.  The book is also colorful and nicely illustrated.Written for ages 4 to 8, this book can easily be read to younger children as a bedtime story.  This is a great thought-provoking book to read and discuss the meaning of as a family.  You can correlate it to possessions as well as physical importance, because it is also what is inside a person, not the body/vessel they are in.Great job, Assaf Marcus!
