Peleh is a picture book illustrating a lesson from the Hasidic teacher Rebbe Nachman of Breslov. The images explore a journey of self-discovery through adventures in nature. The illustrations were handmade in watercolor, and printed at Digital City Printing in NYC.
About the Author Jessica Tamar Deutsch is a New York–based visual artist. She earned her BFA from Parsons, where she created her beloved first book, The Illustrated Pirkei Avot. Deutsch is passionate about creating artworks that renew our relationships with ancient texts, and for years she has created paintings inspired by Nachman’s “The Lost Princess.” She hopes this visual retelling of the story will open readers to new ways of relating with this beloved fable.
