TAL, EVE; SHWARTZ, ORA (ILLUSTRATIONS). A New Boy.
Milk and Honey Press, Dnver: 2006. 0979065607 / 9780979065606 First Bilingual Edition. h Hardcover, no dustjacket (as issued). Brand new book.
This is a bilingual Hebrew / English book for young children. "The New Boy/Yeled Hadash is a picture book about the appearance of a new immigrant child in kindergarten, and how the teacher helps the children to accept him and make him feel at home. The book is set in a gan in IsraelÉ but the children's behavior and the lessons taught and learned could occur anywhere children encounter someone different in school. The story is specific and realistic with plenty of childlike dialogue. It is not at all preachy, developing the story from the children's feelings and their growing understanding. The book is physically attractiveÉ Well designed and very readable, with lots of white space and colorful, childlike stick figure illustrations, this is a most appealing book. It would be useful in any kindergarten setting, and would serve both Hebrew and English learners well. Kindergarten teachers in Jewish day schools, synagogue schools, and parents at home will put it to good use. It teaches Jewish values that are also universal: understanding, sympathy, kindness, and inclusion. If you've been looking for positive books relating to Israel, start with the first three from Milk and Honey Press. Recommended for children ages 4-8." - Naomi Morse, librarian at the Charles E. Smith Jewish Day School, in Silver Spring, Maryland AJL Newsletter - May/June 2007
