Kids Write the Darndest Midrash

Last Sunday I was talking to our kindergarders about this week’s Torah portion, Parashat Noach, and I explained that after the flood subsided Noah sent out a raven, but the raven never came back. A little later Noah sent out a dove – who knows what the dove brought back?  To which one little boy immediately replied, “the raven!”

(I’m liking that one even better than the olive branch…)

    Who’s the artist?
