This is a sweet story about a relationship between a grandfather and his grandson. The grandfather makes his grandson a blanket and as the boy grows and destroys the blanket the grandfather makes something new out of the material.
I have a close relationship with my grandparents and they do everything to make their grandchildren happy. This story was kind of a reminder of that for me, how they'll always be there for me, and will help me and teach me with whatever tools they may have, but most of all how they'll always love me. I get almost emotional when I read this book. It's a good one. Get it.
This was a great book. I read it a few years back but its still very memorable and it's still on my 'rainy day for when I'm not feeling so hot' rereading list.
It's about a Jewish girl, Hadassah, and how she was sold into slavery in the time of the Roman empire. Basically the girl is fierce for her faith I guess you could say, and the story is her struggle against those who don't like her faith. She mostly charms people into liking her though, through her devotion to her faith.
I'm more of a spiritual person rather than a religious one but the struggle Hadassah faces can transcend religion and can come to represent various troubles a person may face, and how being true to yourself will help you through.
