The book "My travels with Yulika" is a book suitable for all ages, both for children and adults. The book brings the story of the immigration to Israel from Hungary of a young family - the parents Dejo and Clary and their young daughters Yulica and Katie. The book, which describes the history of the family from the mouth of a giraffe doll that was Yulika's favorite toy, is written in fluent language and draws the reader to follow the family's adventures from the stage of escaping from Hungary, and through the difficulties of absorption in Israel. The book is characterized by a precise mixture of tension and apprehension, in a combination of optimism and determination that characterized the parents, alongside the description of the feelings and innocence of the young girls throughout the journey. In a combination of anecdotes full of humor and an illustration that connects the difficulties of absorption of the family and other families in Israel more than once, the longing arises in the reader to know more and more stories from the daily life of the family in elite Afula. The family story reveals to the reader the story of the generation of parents/grandparents who immigrated to this country to build and be built, and despite poor means and countless difficulties, they had a lot of will, resourcefulness and intelligence that helped them. I would like to point out that the illustrations in the book are very inviting and add another dimension to the reading experience. On a personal note, I had the privilege of knowing Rachel's mother Clary (Yulika) she reminds me a lot of my grandmother Hana, both of them were devoted grandmothers who, despite being Holocaust survivors, chose to start a family, learned to get along in the country, bargain and take care of their children, lived frugally and remembered goodness Due to their wonderful dishes and pastries.

I read the book, and it was exciting to see how the ascension of a little girl is described, whose rickshaw was her companion on her journey to Israel. And in the book, the raccoon serves as a character that tells the story of the girl-writer while mentioning passages from the Second World War that were the background for the beginning of the journey to the Land of Israel. I am sure that both children and teenagers as well as adults will be excited by reading this book. I wish you, Rachel, success in distributing the book and hope that as many children and teenagers as possible will read it.
