I am Israeli

About this book

"In this book, a boy named Yakir and his friends invite you to learn about their lives in Israel, a tiny country between the Mediterranean Sea and the Syrian and Arabian Deserts. Although it is located in a region with many great deserts, Israel has a variety of different landscapes and climates. Israel's main language is Hebrew, but many of the country's children have grandparents who came to Israel from far-away nations and spoke many languages. What do those children have in common with you? You can decide for yourself when you read this book. You'll learn about Israeli children: their days at school and their lives at home, their families, what they do for fun--and even some of their favorite foods"--
