A Story Every Kid Growing Up Between Two Languages Will Recognize
Pasta with Rotev Adom is the story of a boy caught between the Hebrew spoken at home and the English spoken everywhere else - the mix-ups, the mispronunciations, the moments he doesn't have the word in either language and just makes do. Told as a mirrored bilingual story, side by side in Hebrew and English, it's less a lesson than a mirror: kids raised Hebrew-English see their own everyday code-switching on the page, often for the first time.
With rhyming text and warm, hand-sketched illustrations, the story moves from confusion to pride - the small moment a child realizes both languages, and both halves of who he is, belong together.
A must book for any Israelis that moved away with kids, one reader wrote - and that's exactly who it's for:
Hebrew words show up throughout - not as a list to memorize, but the way they actually happen in a bilingual house: mixed in, sometimes wrong, always understood by the people who love you. (There's a short glossary in the back for parents and grandparents following along.)
Illustrated by Elie Kacen. A gift that travels well - for the grandkids across the ocean, or the kid figuring out they can be both.
