Hardcover. Stated 1st edition hardcover with dustjacket 1994 Henry Holt. Very clean; no marks; never read. Only light wear. 65pp; great photos; Glossary. Language: English. For children ages 9-12. 'This book is not so much the story of a young boy adapting to a new culture as it is a description of Orthodox Judaism. Zev Tsukerman, 11, and his family left Odessa in the Ukraine in large part because they were not allowed to practice their religion freely. In clear and interesting prose, Brown shows Zev's daily routine in his new home in San Francisco--learning about his faith at a Jewish day school, after-school activities, and home life--with an emphasis on the religious rituals. The finely written text is accompanied by well-composed, full-color photographs in a variety of attractive layouts.'--Diane S. Marton, School Library Journal. Keywords: juvenile.
