SHALOM!
I’m Menahem Halberstadt, an Israeli-based illustrator, writer, and storyteller.
My work spans award-winning illustrations across books, newspapers, and more.
I’ve had the joy of illustrating numerous picture books that reach readers worldwide, and I recently wrote one myself!
I love creating illustrations that bring humor and warmth to every story.
I’m married to Michal, and together we’re raising our five loving children in a small home overlooking the beautiful desert.
