Did you ever wonder what it would feel like to eat Mince Pie with Hummus? Or to wear the shortest clothes on the coldest day of the year? Then keep on reading!
This is a tale about a little girl who lived in London, but her family was from a faraway town called Tel-Aviv. Her heart was here but also there. Wait, wait, where?
This is also a story about bilingual kids. When you raise bilingual children, you often come across funny situations of mixed sentences, books that often open from the wrong side, Hebrew songs sang with a British accent and vice versa, strange food combinations, and more!
You can also come across less pleasant situations where people ask your child "But where are you from?" And they say, "I am from London", and then that person/child persists, "But where are you REALLY from?" And you see the confusion on your child's face, as they were indeed born and raised in London. It's just their parents who are from Israel.
For all those reasons and more, I have decided to dedicate nights and days to work on this passion book project, My Heart Is Here And There.
And what's more? this book may be the first bilingual double-sided book ever to be seen on the face of the earth! (Or at least at JW3!?) More of a reason to have look, isn't it?
