Yuvi, a young girl living in distant Ethiopia, is surrounded by lush greenery, flowing rivers, and a loving family. She dreams of the land her parents told her about—a place where rivers flow with milk and honey, and candy grows on trees. Will she succeed in her long journey? Who will protect her along the way? And will she finally reunite with her mother, who immigrated ahead of her with Yuvi’s younger brother and now waits for her with longing?
This touching story by Canadian author Lesley Simpson tells the real-life immigration journey of Yuvi Tashome-Katz—Chairperson and volunteer CEO of Friends By Nature – Community Strength—who, at the age of seven, traveled from Ethiopia to Israel with her grandmother via Sudan.
