<div dir="ltr">I will work with you or help you... I have done technical and marketing writing and technical documentation.<div><br></div><div>I have a couple of friends who wrote a children's book but had a snag with publishing it. These days technology exists to inexpensively self publish. I can chat with them about their experience. My research advisor is also a celebrated writer, ditto.</div>
<div><br></div><div>My daughter is an outstanding writer (I am adequate, she is good), who has been doing it professionally, and has been published, albeit in English (as have I for most part). I have a feeling you would like it in Hebrew.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Over the years I have read a number of stories about Linux for the layman, which is not too different than a children book - it would make an excellent book for children, as it has elements of the little engine that could, of 'it takes a village', of david against goliath, and we can do all the drawings with penguins, which for some reason (happy feet?) children consider cute. We can even shade it purple/pink as a tribute to some of the community's esteemed members - or not.</div>

<div dir="ltr">I have seen those. These are "computer science" for young kids. I am referring to a book written for children that tells the story of Open Source and Linux - About the values of the community and how it all begun.<div>
