On a small kibbutz in Southern Israel lives a six-year-old boy named Avi. Every day after school, Avi and his friends play soccer on a large field. Next to the field, a factory is being built. Avi’s dad, Mr. Ben-David, manages the construction site. Avi loves to visit him and learn about all the different things that go into building the factory - clearing the land, pouring the foundation, and erecting the frame. One sunny afternoon Avi wandered away from his soccer game to visit his dad. This was something he did often. But today was different. He noticed a new, unfamiliar face at the worksite. He approached the stranger and cheerfully introduced himself. “Shalom, my name is Avi,” he said to the man. The man, with a warm smile, turned to Avi. “Shalom Avi, it’s good to meet you. I'm Omar." He then performed a captivating magic trick with his hands, leaving Avi mesmerized. Avi noticed that the man spoke Hebrew, just as he did, but with a different accent. He also had a first name he hadn’t heard before. Avi wondered about this nice new stranger as he walked home with his soccer ball cradled beneath his arms. That evening, as his family shared dinner around the table, Avi asked his dad about the man. “aba, I met Omar today. He’s so nice. He has a funny accent and a funny name and can do magic tricks! Who is he? Where did he come from? Can I come see him again?” “Whoa, slow down Avi. What’s with all this curiosity?”, Mr. Ben-David replied. “I don’t know, Aba. It’s nice to meet new and different people. I think he liked meeting me, too!” “Well, Avi, Omar is Palestinian from Gaza and he will be crossing into Israel each day from now on to help with building the new factory. And each night he will go back to Gaza to be with his family. It’s a long day for Omar so perhaps you should let him focus on his work.” “I will aba, but I’m just so curious. He’s my new friend. If I see him when I come visit I’ll only talk to him a little bit.”

One day the library media center had an unwelcomed visitor. This visitor was not an ordinary human. This visitor was not even human at all. It was from Mars. It was Martian. And it was a fly. Not a little fly that we see buzzing around out doors at picnics trying to land on juicy watermelons. But a huge fly. Almost bigger than the hand of a Pre K student. This fly was from Mars and it loved to read books. So, one day when the door to the library media center was left open by a student, this Martian fly flew right in. He was in fly heaven. He went from book to book and read how to live on Earth. What to eat to not make his belly hurt. And how to avoid humans. He was having the time of his life. Until one day, he made a big mistake. The media specialist and her assistant Miss Bee and Miss Crystal saw him in the nonfiction section. They didn't know that he was an alien. They assumed he was a mutated fly that was so big that he might bite one of their students. No matter how hard they tried they were unable to catch the fly. Soon, they gave up because they had a job to do and that was to make sure all students could come in and check out great books to read as well as help students with their Chromebooks. So Miss Bee decided to trap the fly in another room so no student could be harm by the fearsome creature.

It all started one rainy evening when my husband and I were driving home from work. We heard a faint meowing coming from under the bonnet of our car. We immediately pulled over and opened the bonnet, only to find a tiny kitten huddled up and shivering. Without hesitation, we scooped him up and brought him home with us. We named him Almond because he is as sweet as a nut. From that moment on, he became a part of our family. We showered him with love and care, making sure he was well-fed and had a warm place to sleep. Almond quickly adapted to his new home and became the center of our world. He would greet us at the door every day, purring and rubbing against our legs. He would follow us around the house, always wanting to be near us. And when we would sit down to relax, he would curl up on our laps, his soft purrs filling the room.
