Savta Simcha and the Cinnamon Tree

Savta Simcha returns to her home in Jerusalem at Three Rimon Road, but her adventures begin just as soon as she gets off the plane.

In Savta Simcha and the Cinnamon Tree, everyone s favorite Savta (Hebrew for grandmother) comes home to discover that her brother, Uncle Nechemya has taken in a spunky little boy named Ezra.

Together, these three, journey through the Holy City, bringing amusement, enchantment, and excitement with them, wherever they go. Strange horses, flying letters, a snowstorm surprise, a rollicking Purim parade, an amazing bonfire, and Savta Simcha s special cinnamon tree all play a part in these wonderful escapades that take young readers up and down the streets of Jerusalem.

Filled with delightful, warm-hearted characters, charming illustrations, and basic Jewish values, it s easy to see why the Savta Simcha Series has such broad appeal with young readers everywhere.
