Description

Named a Best Jewish Children’s Book of 2024 by Tablet Magazine

"A worthwhile choice for family reading time and all children's book collections."—Association of Jewish Libraries

"Simple and melodic . . . bright and beautiful"—Historical Novel Society

When young Saliman's family left Yemen in 1881 to move to Jerusalem there were so many things they could not take along. Promising to remember it all, even the names of each their goats and the color of their fur, he clutched his memory stone, a piece of his house that he kept in his pocket, as a way to keep Yemen in his heart.

Saliman and the Memory Stone is a fictionalization of the real emigration of hundreds of Yemeni Jews to Jerusalem. Saliman might be leaving home, but he will always have his memories of Yemen. And even when they are without, he is reminded that he has everything he needs in his heart and in his community.
