Yael’s Loving World {Giveaway}
July 13th, 2011 Print
If you have a young daughter you are certainly familiar with Hello Kitty, Dora the Explorer and various other Disney-type characters that children can’t seem to get enough of.
Utilizing her professional background in marketing and writing, Malky Weinstock has ambitiously created a brand, Lite Girl (which is an acronym for love, inspire, teach, encourage), that aims to develop a set of creative characters, with books, dolls and associated merchandising that will inspire girls with Jewish values.
“I wanted to create a brand that would not only be fun, creative, entertaining and collectible, but also educational and inspirational, gently promoting the values of Ahavas Yisroel (love of one’s fellow Jew) and Ahavas Hashem (love of G-d), because today’s young girls are tomorrow’s mothers.”, Malky told Savvima.com. “Imagine if I could not merely entertain, but discreetly inspire young girls today, to be the kind of the kind of women who are empowered with these core values and will make this world a better place!”, says Malky enthusiastically.
We meet Lite Girl’s first character, Yael, in a recently released book called “Yael’s Loving World”. In this full-color book, beautifully illustrated by Steve Pileggi, readers follow Yael as she appreciates all of the people in her life, and Hashem, who brings them all to her. The book comes with an audio CD containing a read along to the book and a theme song sung by accomplished singer and performer Rachel Ravitz.
“Yael’s Loving World” is only the first of a whole line of adorable products featuring Yael. Lite Girl is working hard to produce a second Yael book called “New Shoes for Yael”, a Yael doll and a back-to-school line featuring a Yael backpack and Yael school supplies! Other books such as “Yael Becomes a Giver” and “Yael Worries No More” are also in the works.
“Yael’s Loving World” is available for sale at your local Judaica store and online at bealitegirl.com. When ordering online use coupon code “SHIPFREE” to receive free shipping!
Post a comment below before Thursday, July 21st, and be entered to win a free copy of “Yael’s Loving World” by Malky Weinstock!
My 8 year old daughter would love this book!
This book looks wonderful – I can’t wait to get a copy of it for my daughter. She’ll be drawn in right away by the color, but I’m excited that the message is a kosher one vs Dora and a talking monkey.
OMG! A series with a character named Yael. I’m in! My daughter is named Yael, so I can’t wait to take a look at the books!
These look great! I am forever explaining to my daughter how a Jewish princess differs from the Disney ones she sees everywhere. It will be nice to have something else for her to obsess over, something kosher!
Sounds like such a nice idea. I would love a doll/book series to give my daughters that is a much better alternative than Barbies.
Looks really cute! My nieces would love it!!
Oh my!! This looks so cute !! Would LOVE to win this! As my kids love reading and love when I read to them before they go tO bed or during these long shabbatot! It can be a perfect gift for my daughters 5 th birthday!!! Hope to win:-)
I would love to finally have my daughter obsess over something Jewish and inspiring other than DORA: or Hello kitty!!!! Hope to win!!!
This looks like a fantasic book a bubby can give to her granddaughter!!! Looks fantastic! Hope to win:-)

We have more Barbie dolls at home than most other toys… At last something different!!!

Hello, My Friends! It’s so very gratifying to see your positive and generous responses! Exactly my sentiments from the start. It’s time for our little girls to reclaim their Jewish pride by identifying with jewish fun, funky, characters who empower them with healthy values.

I encourage you all to sign up your daughters for free membership and become Lite Girl Fans! Just visit http://www.bealitegirl.com and click on “sign up now”.
Now on to other things. In addition to new products, Lite Girl is interested in doing promo events, I call a ” Meet Yael Event. ” We have done several already in Boro Park and Flatbush, and are scheduled for one in late August in the Levi Yitzchak Family Center/Library in the Five Towns. Exact Date To be determined. We are looking to possibly do a larger scale Meet Yael Lite Girl Concert Event, presenting Accomplished Singer and performer, Rachel Ravitz, and Myself, this upcoming Chol Hamoed Sukkos. We are looking into various venues, possibly the Jewish Children’s Museum in Crown Heights or Hotels/other busy locations in the NY Tri-State Area. If anybody has suggestions or is interested in promoting or assisting with production , getting corporate sponsorships/marketing of this event, or with a Meet Yael Book Signing event on a smaller scale in your neighborhood, feel free to email me at malky@bealitegirl.com
And finally one last thing. We are looking for your suggestions on what products in addition to books and dolls your daughters would enjoy. Feel free to email me your suggestions.
