Abby and her parents have moved to Israel, where they've always dreamed of living. Abby's excited about her new home, but she misses her grandma. As they exchange letters and emails, Abby tells about her new life-learning Hebrew, eating falafel, and floating in the Dead Sea. And through the long dry summer, as she looks forward to the first rain of autumn, she misses how she and Grandma used to splash and play on rainy days. Finally, one morning, Abby hears the long-awaited ping ping ping on the roof. And then something even more wonderful happens. Kathryn Mitter's bright paintings perfectly complement Charlotte Herman's appealing story of the love between a grandma and a little girl.
EDITORIAL :
From Booklist The author of The Memory Cupboard: A Thanksgiving Story (2003) offers another family-themed picture book, this one about immigrating to Israel. Abby and her parents are excited to begin their new life—learning Hebrew, eating different foods, and visiting the Dead Sea—but Abby also misses her American grandmother, who keeps in touch through letters, e-mails, and phone calls.

Excellent photographs and excellent research on the technical issues. The book is new, as promised, but it doesn't have the "smell" of a new book. The list of recommendations continue with study
