It's a nice and touching story about a child who is ashamed about his father because he is different from other fathers and is usually embarrassing him. But this father is very, very special!

Written by Galila Ron-Feder; Hebrew.
Read book »
It's a book I read when I was a child and it is still relevant. It is about an Arabic girl who is torn apart between her Arabic world and the Israeli world and about her dream to become a doctor. The author was my favorite!

It tells the story of a child in the ghetto during the holocaust who needs to give up his dog and hide away with his family until the war is over. Unlike too many cases, this one has a happy ending.
