Sample Book Insights:
#1 My parentsâ house was in the kibbutzâs old peopleâs neighborhood. On our right was Clara, who worked in the laundry. Across from us lived Hilda and Shmul, the only old people in the neighborhood who were still a couple. Next to them was Kalman, and I have no idea what he looked like.
#2 My sister, Lily, and my best friend, Iris, were in the army together. When they were discharged, they worked for a month in the kibbutzâs preschool classes. Lily worked at our class, Palm Tree Preschool, and Iris worked in Wheat Preschool.
#3 I had a very happy childhood in the kibbutz. I was able to sleep at my parentsâ house if I was sick, and there were lots of ways to be sick: a thermometer in the tea usually got the job done. I was also able to go out in the wind with my hair wet after washing it on Friday.
#4 I was in bed for a week with a high fever. I learned the order of the TV shows by heart for every day of the week. I sent postcards to kids my age from home, and invited one girl from Kfar Yona to visit me at my kibbutz.
