"When Shoham's family emigrates from Iraq to Israel, Nana Aziza gives Shoham a way to remember where she came from"--Book Synopsis
A Sydney Taylor Notable Book
Winner of the Crystal Kite Award
Tablet Magazine's Best Jewish Kids Books of the Year
Shoham's bangle jingles and jangles, clinks and clacks.
Shoham wears a golden bangle on her wrist, just like her Nana Aziza. Their bangles jingle when they cook, and glitter in the sun. When Shoham and her family must leave Iraq, they are allowed to take only one suitcase each. They may take no jewelry. Shoham has the important job of carrying Nana's homemade pita bread, which Nana says they will eat when they get to Israel. But when they finally arrive and it is time to eat, Shoham bites into something hard inside the pita bread.
