Snow in Jerusalem

32 pp. | Whitman | October, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-8075-7521-6 $$15.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Cornelius Van Wright & Ying-Hwa Hu. Avi, a young Jew living in Jerusalem, follows a stray cat he's befriended only to discover that Hamudi, an Arab boy, is caring for the animal in the Muslim quarter. The watercolor paintings that accompany this familiar, somewhat didactic tale realistically depict the ancient city and successfully extend the story's hopeful mood. An author's note is appended. Glos.
