Summary: Abby and her family are Jewish and are moving away from her grandmother to Israel. Abby frequently emails her grandma and tells her all about the Hebrew language and traditions that she is learning while in Israel. Since it doesn't rain during the summer in Israel she recounts all these experiences with her while hoping for the rain that would give her some of the comforts from home like when her Abby and her grandmother used to play in the rain. Reaction: I didn't expect to learn Hebrew word or things about Israel in this book, but it was much more in depth then just a girl playing in the rain with her grandmother. Extension: 1. This could start a conversation about other countries that students may have traveled to. 2. The students can be asked to find Israel on a map and also look up important information about it.

HTML: Abby and her parents have moved to Israel, where they've always dreamed of living. Abby's excited about her new home, but she misses her grandma. As they exchange letters and emails, Abby tells about her new lifeâ??learning Hebrew, eating falafel, and floating in the Dead Sea. And through the long dry summer, as she looks forward to the first rain of autumn, she misses how she and Grandma used to splash and play on rainy days. Finally one morning Abby hears the long-awaited ping ping ping on the roof. And then something even more wonderful happens. Kathryn Mitter's bright paintings perfectly complement Charlotte Herman's appealing story of the love between a grandma and a little girl. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

This is a sweet book about the loving relationship between a grandmother and her grandchild. It is apparently loosely based on the author's own experiences when her daughter moved to Israel. There are definitely some insights into Abby's life in Israel, although the focus is on the bond between her and her grandparent.
The illustrations fit the text well, showing the many expressions of the characters as time progresses and situations change. There is also some diversity within these, which is nice. ( )
