This journal is part of a series featuring art by renowned artist Josh Baum from the book Malkah’s Notebook: A Journey into the Mystical Aleph-Bet, written by Mira Z Amiras. Part bedtime story, part poem, part journal, Malkah’s Notebook is a love letter to the Hebrew alphabet that unlocks life’s greatest mysteries. Mira Amiras is also the writer and director of the award-winning film The Day Before Creation, a companion to the book. 


In this hand drawn illustration, Malkah is new to her travels and just beginning to engage with the ruins of ancient civilizations. Here, she encounters the dolphins of Crete as depicted in a frieze from the ancient Palace of Knossos. Her intrepid adventures will inspire readers, writers, and thinkers of all ages. 


The Dolphins of Knossos Journal is packaged with a bronze ribbon for inspired organization. The pages are blank for free journaling and creative expression.
