First Graders....Here is a book you will really enjoy!!   Joshua's Dream: A Journey to the Land of Israel by Sheila F. Segal  
     Amazed by the deeds of his Great-Aunt Rivka, one of the early settlers of Eretz Yisrael, Joshua dreams of taking part in that miraculous transformation of desert and barren hillside to forest and farm land.  He studies and plans, awaiting the day when, with his own hands, he will dig and plant in the soil of Israel.
     One day his dream comes true.  Joshua stands at the edge of a small forest in the Negev Desert holding a tiny Jerusalem pine tree in his hands.  As he plants it, he begins his own chapter in the long history of the builders of Israel.
