Publisher's Synopsis
Full Color Interior. Ethiopian-Israeli children reveal their inner lives, hopes and fears with pictures and drawings. Their mothers and fathers were all born in remote Ethiopian villages. Most mothers were married by thirteen and never attended school. Life stories are filled with sibling deaths, shepherding at eight or nine and the lengthy, dangerous trek across Ethiopia through surrounding lands to Israel. You will hear of their compelling lives and how both the parents and the children live in different worlds. Some mothers literally see the world differently than their children. These children display their creativity as they freely draw and tell their life stories.
