Name On Sarig | Died January 19, 2012 | |
On Sarig (Hebrew: און שׂריג) is one of several pen names of Shraga Gafni (Hebrew: שרגא גפני; June 22, 1926 – January 19, 2012), an Israeli author of children's books. Under this name, Gafni wrote the "Danidin" series, one of the most popular children book series in Israel, chronicling the fictional adventures of an invisible child.
Controversy
The Danidin series has been cited as an example of "hate literature", which promotes anti-Arab stereotypes in Israeli children's literature.
