“Even for an adult
Tehillim can be very challenging since many of the
words that David HaMelech uses are poetic and appear only once or twice in Tanach. I wanted children to feel connected to David HaMelech so I tried to
focus on mefarshim that relate to his life and times. For
example at one point in his life David was accused of something that he
didn’t do when a famine befell Eretz Yisrael. Even though the navi told him it wasn’t his fault he davened to Hashem for forgiveness and
rain began to fall ending the famine. David composed chapter 4 as a response
to this rainfall out of his gratitude that people would now know he was
innocent.”
