כשנוסעים לארץ אחרת

This is a delightful book of poetry in Hebrew for children. The title means “when one travels to a different land”. In this book, a seven-year old girl travels to America. Each page or two has a different poem about her feelings and her experiences as she leaves her country and lives life abroad.

I loved reading this book and figuring out the meaning of each poem as my Hebrew had gotten a bit rusty, but I knew enough to get through it. I also really liked the illustrations done in ink and filled in with only colors of blue and yellow.

There is something incredibly beautiful and sweet about this book that touched deeply into my heart.
