In honor of Israel’s 75th birthday (on April 26, 2023), we’re delighted to offer Pickled Watermelon by Esty Schachter. This is a delightful story about a young girl (Molly) who’s not looking forward to leaving her friends and beloved Bubbe to spend a month in Israel with her mom’s family. Molly doesn’t like change, so she tries to avoid adapting to Israeli life. Slowly the country and its people win her over. By the end of the trip, Molly has bonded with her Israeli family and is sad to leave. This is a sweet book, full of warm family relationships and appealing details about life in Israel in 1986.
