A recent release, At Masada
————————————-
A woman with a mission: Sara-Ester Varnai is on a mission to bring Israel to life for children around the world.
“Israel is at the center of the world’s attention,” says Varnai. “But much of that attention is distorted and slanted against Israel. I designed the Kids Discover Israel Series to combat that, to educate children about Israel, and to inspire them with a love for the Holy Land and the Jewish people.”
Dovid and Esty: At Masada is the first volume in this new children’s series. Masada’s majestic story will come alive in the hearts and minds of children everywhere when they read this exciting adventure of young Dovid and his sister Esty who travel back in time to the original Masada. Their search for the clue to an ancient mystery leads them to witness firsthand the desperate fight for Jewish survival against the mighty Roman Empire.
“Each volume in the Kids Discover Israel Series will explore a different ancient, archaeological site,” says Varnai. “They are historical novels, so there is a lot of research necessary in order to present historical truths. The research I’m doing is extensive – and fun. It’s truly amazing. I’m learning so much!”
Dovid and Esty: At Masada is a work of fiction based on true events that took place on Masada, a mountaintop fortress in the Judean Desert in Israel, almost 2,000 years ago. The book is replete with original photography of the site and has an appendix with additional archaeological information. The delightful artwork brings the characters to life and will captivate young readers aged 7-12.
