coming home when travel ends?”

Each simple idea is illustrated by Zara González Hoang with colorful, detailed pictures featuring a diverse set of characters and including many aspects of Jewish culture along with non-religious activities.

Ideal for readers 4 and over, and the adults who read along and can ask kids how they mark change and growth over the course of a year.
