Haifa: My Home Town

Reach for this book when your child expresses curiosity about their family roots or asks what life was like for children in other parts of the world long ago. This gentle memoir follows Judith as she grows up in the hillside city of Haifa, Israel, during the mid-twentieth century. Through a series of vignettes accompanied by her own vibrant artwork, the author captures the essence of a childhood defined by simple joys, strong family ties, and a deep connection to her surroundings. It is a wonderful choice for parents who want to introduce the concepts of cultural heritage and historical continuity in a personal, non-academic way. The book is ideal for children ages 6 to 11, serving as a bridge between their own modern experiences and the nostalgic memories of an older generation. It encourages gratitude for one's community and a sense of belonging within a larger global and historical tapestry.
