Whenever the author-illustrator runs in a field, climbs a hill, or swims in the sea in Israel, she looks for something small to hold in her hand. She finds a basalt pebble from the ice-cold Dan River, formed from lava over 100,000 years ago. Israel's national bird, the hoopoe, leaves a feather in the grass at HaYarkon Park. Dead hood coral grows in the Red Sea, where fish play hide-and-seek.

Story
Amira loves cholent and is eager to share her Nana's recipe in the "Best Cholent Competition Down Under." Amira and Nana throw garlic and ginger into their pot. "This is not a cholent," someone says. Everyone gasps when Nana takes out a needle and thread and stitches the stuffed chicken, and adds eggs to the stew. "This is not a cholent!" the crowd says. Amira holds Nana's hand and shuts her eyes when the judges come. "This is not a cholent," the judges say..."but it's delicious. What is it?" "This is a cholent," Amira says. "It's an Iraqi stew that Nana and I make every Friday."
