I really appreciate this book!

This is a fascinating story of Elan, a boy with a Jewish father and a Native American mother ...

Elan dreamily glanced out the railroad car window at a nearby trolley car. He and his parents were leaving San Francisco headed to Albuquerque, New Mexico. It was a special time in Elanâs life, an exciting one with lots of ceremony and excitement. Just the day before heâd celebrated his Bar Mitvah. With his grandfatherâs tallit around his shoulders, he read from the Torah, chanting âfrom the portion called âBamidbar,â which tells of the Jewish people wandering in the desert.â Yet another celebration awaited the thirteen-year-old, but this one would be in the land of the Pueblo atop a mesa. Mama was an Indian and he would celebrate that part of his heritage.

As a boy of two worlds, two peoples, Elan âwould take part in the Pueblo ceremony of becoming a man.â Mama gave him a special package on the train as they headed south. It was a special tallit that she had woven for him, a tallit he would wear when he read the Torah atop that mesa. There were Jewish symbols, but also âcolorful stripesâ symbolizing âyellow for the sun, blue for the corn, white for the rocks, and red for Mother Earth.â It was a time when Elan was becoming more aware of things, becoming aware of his Acoma Pueblo heritage, becoming a man. What would happen after his ceremony in the kiva?

This is a fascinating story of Elan, a boy with a Jewish father and a Native American mother. The tale is based on the life of the eldest son of Solomon Bibo and Juana Valle, âgranddaughter of a former Acoma Pueblo chief.â The tale, set forth in picture book format, doesnât go into depth, but does bring out the symbolism, ceremony, and rites of passage for both the Jewish and Pueblo boys. The most striking line is when Elanâs mother says, âAlways remember you are the son of two proud nations whose roots are as sturdy and deep as this oak tree.â The artwork is stunningly beautiful and adds tremendously to the tale. In the back of the book is a glossary and additional historical information about the Bibo family.

A Great Story!

Elan's father is Jewish and his mother is from an Indian background. His family lives in San Francisco. The day after his Bar Mitzvah he takes a train ride with his family to an Indian town where his mother is from so he can also take part in another celebration for his 13th birthday, a Pueblo ceremony of becoming a man. His mother tells a story of how she first had to become a member of the Jewish community before she married his father. He and his family travel through the Indian town; the full-color illustrations show what he and his family did and saw in the towns. There is a historical note at the end about Solomon Bibo, whose life inspired this story.

I liked how Elan's family gave him the opportunity to explore both of the backgrounds that his parents came from.

Members Reviews:

original folk story

A simple story of simple folk who have never seen a mirror -- and mistake their reflections for other people.

Young readers will probably be delighted to figure out the problem/solution before the main characters do.

The story could have been set anywhere -- there is nothing specifcally Moroccan or Jewish about the plot.

Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Es gibt keine Drachen. Oder doch? Zumindest in diesem Buch gibt es noch zwei: den vorletzten und den letzten Drachen. Sie heißen Georg und Martin. Und sie haben im Laufe der Jahrhunderte ziemlich alles verlernt, was Drachen eigentlich können müssten. Nicht einmal fliegen können sie mehr. Dabei würde es auch bestimmt bleiben, wenn sie nicht Franziska und ihren Bruder Schurli kennen lernen würden.

Gentle love

Brought back my own "Pa" holding me and telling me old Irish tales. How wonderful it would be for all children to know all the degrees of love found in this tale.

Such a great story for all ages.

And the kid in all of us. Please write another real soon. Jen

Such a wonderful story. It reminds me of the old Celtic folktales from when I was a child. Would make a great little movie, actually.

Bought this book because we visited the hoover dam and wanted to learn more. Child is young, but listened as I read the whole book to him! Very educational for both children and adults. Well written for younger school aged children. Also bought other books in the series: White House, Statue of Liberty and National Capitol. I recommend them all!

This is an excellent book for young students to learn how to save money for the extras they want ...

While Ella and her Mom were in the sports store, she spotted a basket of brand new soccer balls. It would be awesome to have one, but when she asked her Mom to buy one she said âThat ball costs $20.00. Weâll talk about it tonight.â A new one would be so much better than her old one for sure. Later Ellaâs Mom gave her a $2.00 allowance to put in her three jars: Save, Share, and Spend. There was $1.00 in that Spend jar and she had a long way to go before she could be a new soccer ball. Was there anything she could do to earn more money for that jar?

Her friend Will earned his allowance, but Ellaâs chores were âjust part of being in [their] family.â She would have to do some âspecial jobsâ to earn extra money. That car needed some cleaning. Into the trash bucket went all kinds of yucky things and Ella worked hard to vacuum it. There was one extra dollar! There were lots of houses in their neighborhood so Mom help here make some posters. âHire Ella!â Mr. Hanson needed someone to weed and Ms. Lowry paid her âto give Barney a bath.â If you add in the $3.00 she made, how much more would Ella have to add to that Spend jar to get that soccer ball?

This is an excellent book for young students to learn how to save money for the extras they want. While learning about saving, children will also have to learn about the importance of earning money. This simple beginning chapter book can be easily tackled by the newly independent reader. Small sidebars also prompt the reader to consider additional information about money basics. For example, one says âAmount in Ellaâs Spend Jarâ $8.00 + $4.00 - $1.00 = $11.00.â In the back of the book is an index, a glossary, a âMake A Money Chartâ activity, and additional recommended book and website resources to explore. There are additional complementary resources on the publisherâs website.

Enjoyed

Almost what I was looking for! (adoptive family perspective)

This book has a lot going for it. I love that it is written from the child's perspective and the illustrations are pleasant and child-friendly. The language is simple enough for young children to understand, and differences are presented in an upbeat, positive way. My favorite thing about this book is that it could be used in a family setting or in a classroom setting. It even includes a project idea at the end that would be great for a classroom lesson. The book includes an interracial couple with a child and one on the way, a big family that speaks a different language at home, two ladies, a dad and his daughter (with a good explanation of divorce and step-families), a boy who lives with his grandparents, an adoptive family (two dads, two kids, multiracial), and extended family.

I am always looking for books that represent our family to donate to my kids' classrooms. We are a mom and a dad with two transracially adopted children and one biological child. This is really hard to find! (A close fit is Rosie's Family: An Adoption Story by Lorie Rosove.) I was a little disappointed when I came to the page with adopted kids and it was two dads. I appreciate that a same-sex couple was included earlier in the book. However, I'm finding it hard to find books depicting adoptive families with a mom and a dad that would be more representative of our family that is also appropriate for classroom use. I appreciate the information included on the adoption page - the sentence "his mother loved him, but she couldn't take care of him" (could have used the term "birth-mother") - and an explanation of about domestic and international adoption.

I love the "differences are great" message this book provides. My 8-year-old daughter liked it and picked it to give to her class over two other books about diverse families. I would say this book is suitable for ages 4-9.

Progressive's dream, social conservative's worst nightmare

Progressive's dream, social conservative's worst nightmare. The book shows different kinds of families including biracial and same-sex couples. These cloverleaf books by Lisa Bullard are so inclusive and etruly encourage tolerance. This and the holidays series should be in every elementary school library.

Fantastic book about tolerance for differences

Beautiful telling of how families and people are all different, but EVERYONE has a family even if they don't look the same
