Moving is never easy, and arriving from Ethiopia, Gebyanesh feels the full weight of her new school in Israel on the very first day. While she shares her Jewish heritage with the other students, everything else about her seems to be different, from her food to her name. Initially, the adjustment from her former home to that in Israel is more challenging than she could imagine, but with bravery and support from loved ones, Gebyanesh is able to stand up for herself and embrace the things that make her unique.
What an unusual, subtle addition to a familiar conflict; this will be a good fit for collections that support social-emotional learning in early elementary students
