Sample Book Insights:
#1 My parents’ house was in the kibbutz’s old people’s neighborhood. On our right was Clara, who worked in the laundry. Across from us lived Hilda and Shmul, the only old people in the neighborhood who were still a couple. Next to them was Kalman, and I have no idea what he looked like.
#2 My sister, Lily, and my best friend, Iris, were in the army together. When they were discharged, they worked for a month in the kibbutz’s preschool classes. Lily worked at our class, Palm Tree Preschool, and Iris worked in Wheat Preschool.
#3 I had a very happy childhood in the kibbutz. I was able to sleep at my parents’ house if I was sick, and there were lots of ways to be sick: a thermometer in the tea usually got the job done. I was also able to go out in the wind with my hair wet after washing it on Friday.
#4 I was in bed for a week with a high fever. I learned the order of the TV shows by heart for every day of the week. I sent postcards to kids my age from home, and invited one girl from Kfar Yona to visit me at my kibbutz.

#1

My parents’ house was in the kibbutz’s old people’s neighborhood. On our right was Clara, who worked in the laundry. Across from us lived Hilda and Shmul, the only old people in the neighborhood who were still a couple. Next to them was Kalman, and I have no idea what he looked like.

#2

My sister, Lily, and my best friend, Iris, were in the army together. When they were discharged, they worked for a month in the kibbutz’s preschool classes. Lily worked at our class, Palm Tree Preschool, and Iris worked in Wheat Preschool.

#3

I had a very happy childhood in the kibbutz. I was able to sleep at my parents’ house if I was sick, and there were lots of ways to be sick: a thermometer in the tea usually got the job done. I was also able to go out in the wind with my hair wet after washing it on Friday.

#4

I was in bed for a week with a high fever. I learned the order of the TV shows by heart for every day of the week. I sent postcards to kids my age from home, and invited one girl from Kfar Yona to visit me at my kibbutz.

#5

I was in the fifth grade in Israel, and I was sick. I had a serious, fatal disease that sometimes kills people, and there was one girl from Kfar Yona who was supposed to visit me at five-thirty, but she didn’t. If I died, she wouldn’t even know.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

I was supposed to meet with Jonathan at four, but I was held up at the clinic. I called my mother, Ruthie Glover, who was sitting on an eternal couch waiting for me. Hi, Nogi, sweetie. Are you on your way.

#2

The road from Tel Aviv to the kibbutz was a saga I had learned to recite by heart, but whose meaning I had never truly figured out. I rushed down it in the blue Opel to minimize my lateness.

#3

I moved to a second grade class with Liat, Tamir, and Ram. I told them that Tova Hershkovitz, the author of the children’s book series Storio the Elf, was actually me. I would read them new chapters every night.

#4

One day, Dad returned from France for a short visit. He came to Israel for a week before leaving for a conference in another country. I didn’t know which one since he hadn’t sent a postcard yet. Leah the teacher invited him to class to tell us about his research in the Gamla excavations.

#5

The Great Revolt or First Jewish-Roman War took place between 66 and 73 CE. It was the first of three major rebellions by the Jews against the Roman Empire, and it resulted in the destruction of Jewish towns, the displacement of residents, and the appropriation of land for Roman military use.
Insights from Chapter 3

#1

I went back to work at the clinic three days after Mom slipped in the shower. I was mumbling to myself when the phone rang and it was Eli asking if her condition was getting worse again. I crossed out the session I had scheduled with Adva for next Wednesday.

#2

I had a new class in third grade: afterschool classes at the local youth village. We learned to make poached eggs and chocolate cake with sprinkles, and we went birding with Yehuda. We also learned to play board games and ball games.

#3

The Greek gods were stronger and immortal. They could feel all the emotions we feel, and they could be sad, happy, and bored. They could also commit immoral acts, which meant doing things they shouldn’t do.
