Eli Remembers



Vander Zee, Ruth and Marian Sneider. Eli Remembers. Illustrated by: Bill Farnsworth. Eerdmans: 2007. ISBN: 978-0-8028-5309-7.




Every year Eli celebrates Rosh Hashanah Eve and his family always cries. Eli asks his mother why his family cries on a happy day and she said that some things are hard to talk about. Eli and his family go to Lithuania. What do you think happens where they are there? Read the book to find out. I recommend this book for grades six and above. I really loved the elaborate illustrations, and I think it is an appropriated book for older kids to young adults.
