In this book we are taken around israel and shown its culture all while repeating the phrase "Everybody Says Shalom" The book teaches about different aspects of the israel culture and how close it is.

This is the shortest yet most adorable book! These pictures are so captivating! This book invites everyone of any color, creed, or origin to say "shalom" in any situation, all the time. It means "hello," "goodbye," and most importantly, "peace." This white family goes on vacation and is encouraged to participate in the bustling culture of Israel. I really like the explanations of words used in the book and even some that aren't so that readers can get a feel for their culture and values. ( )

Nice rhyming introduction to many colorfully illustrated sites in Israel. ( )

Large format picture book shows where Shalom is said all over Israel. Bright, bold illustrations.

The book is almost poetic in the sense that it flows together through rhyming. It teaches you about Israel. Cute book. In the back you can learn even more about Israel through the "Around and About in Israel" section. ( )
