Winners of the Israel Museum Ben-Yitzhak Award for the Illustration of a Children's Book, 2018

A coyote who dresses up as a princess; a famous veterinarian who heals every ache; Saint Nino’s challenging journey to the Caucuses; two girls who fight over a doll; and even one unbelievable yet true story about a famous Israeli singer performing in a refugee camp in Cyprus – all these characters can be found in the books honored this year. The exhibition features a selection of illustrations from books as well as letters created by the illustrators specifically for the display.
