"A dream to return to their Jewish homeland becomes a reality for Ethiopian Jews. Modern Jewish history lives through the moving voice of one participant." - Kirkus Reviews
A beautiful picture book set against the backdrop of the airlift of Ethiopian Jews to Israel.
A young Jewish boy in Ethiopia has a dream of flying on Eagle's wings to a new home. In this story of dreams, choices, and what it means to belong, Yosef and his family choose to fly to Israel, the land of their ancestors - fulfilling their long-held dream.
An author's note provides background about the Jews of Ethiopia and the 1991 rescue mission, called Operation Solomon.
