Ephraim Sidon

Ephraim Sidon (Hebrew: אפרים סידון; born February 26, 1946) is an Israeli author, playwright, and satirist, noted for both his satirical work and his children's books.

Sidon was born in Jerusalem in 1946 and today lives in Tel Aviv with his family, where he continues to play a central role in Israeli culture.

In 1974, they created the first satirical cult program for Israeli Television, Nikui Rosh [he] ("Head Cleaning").

However, Sidon is most loved and acknowledged for his children’s books, with their imaginative characters, rhyme and strong underlying morals.

In 2004, Sidon was a co-recipient (jointly with David Grossman and Haya Shenhav) of the Bialik Prize for literature.
