I'm a Jewish writer, teacher and herbalist, and I’m grateful to share that my new book, *Illustrated Sefardi Folk Sayings: A Visual Companion to Sefardi Herbalism*, has been published and is now available for orders. In the words of a Sefardi proverb: *El livro es el mijor amigo*, a book is a best friend.*Illustrated Sefardi Folk Sayings: A Visual Companion to Sefardi Herbalism* features original illustrations of Sefardi folk sayings that guide us through plant stories shared in *Sefardi Herbalism: An Introduction to Earth, Water and Plant-Based Folk Traditions of the Sefardim*. This book celebrates the earth-based folk culture of the Sefardim and the landscapes and seascapes of modern day Spain and Portugal, formerly known as Sefarad, through drawings, paintings, and original photography, as well as abridged offerings from the companion text.
