Chaya Burstein's newest book leads fourth to sixth graders on a top-to-bottom tour of modern Israel. Students explore Eretz Yisrael through the eyes of Sam, a twelve-year-old who lives on a mountaintop; Mohammed, an Arab boy from Jerusalem; Uriah, a student; Meirav, a girl who loves to hike and explore Israel's hills and valleys; and others. Burstein's charming illustrations, lively games, entertaining puzzles, and "minipedia" of essential information make the journey great fun.
