Yosef's Dream

40 pp. | Behrman/Apples & Honey | August, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-1-68115-506-7 $17.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Tamar Blumenfeld. With Asher Naim. Ethiopian boy Yosef dreams that a giant eagle will fly his Jewish family to a new home; they're soon brought to Israel by airplane, his eagle come to life. This is an engaging fictionalized recollection of Operation Solomon, which in 1991 brought fourteen thousand Ethiopian Jews to Israel in two days, with (coauthor) Ambassador Naim's assistance. Blumenfeld's stylized paintings add specificity.
