Saliman and the Memory Stone
Saliman is a young boy when his family decides to emigrate from Yemen to Jerusalem as part of the First Aliyah in 1881. He takes a stone from his home’s foundation so he’ll remember where he came from. The trek is long, hot, and hard. Eventually they arrive at the golden city of Jerusalem.
The text is simple and melodic. The full-page color illustrations are bright and beautiful and make clear the love of family and the difficulties of the journey. Ages 4-7.
