Yosef and Estrella have spent their whole lives in Morocco's Atlas Mountains. When they move to the city, they face a strange, unfamiliar world. Will their love survive the surprises of their new home? A funny and charming folktale-like story of mistaken identities.
"Beautiful acrylic paintings in crimson, olive, fig, and umber illustrate the tale, with particular care given to the couple's expressions as they navigate their emotions and new life together."
Booklist
"This original folk story reads like a Sephardic Chelm-like tale set in Morrocco…The lesson can be one of many, including that sometimes we shouldn't be so quick to judge the person staring back at us in the mirror!"
Jewish Book Council
"…the illustrations bring alive the bustle of Casablanca's narrow streets, and the couple's expressive eyes almost dare the audience not to feel at least a smidgen of empathy."
