"In this unique retelling of the classic 'Brothers' legend, the titlecharacters are two women - one Jewish, one Muslimliving side-by sidein Jerusalem. The women work together harvesting dates, andoften share meals. They practice their faiths, which the book lovinglycompares. When the crop fails one season, the two women search forways to help each other through a difficult time. Of course, each isdoing the same thing for the other secretly placing dates in a basketon her neighbors porch. Upon discovery, they hug, laugh and share a meal.This version of the story is well told and strongly supports the Jewish values of kindness tostrangers and hospitality. The language is simple, short and sweet, perfect for story time. Theartwork provides a beautiful portrayal of 'the Land of Milk and Honey' in muted tones of teal,maroon, and brown. As a delightful depiction of true friendship, a beautiful book about Israel, anda wonderful retelling of an old story, this is a must have for any Jewish library."--Association of Jewish Libraries, "Yaffa and Fatima are neighbors in the Land of Milk and Honey, where each tends her own date grove. Every day they pick and sell their dates, cook and share tasty foods, and pray to God--Yaffa in the synagogue and Fatima in the mosque. When hard times come, they worry about the other's welfare, and when they realize that each has been secretly sharing with the other, they are grateful for their friendship. Inspired by traditional Jewish and Arab tales that usually feature brothers, as in Neil Waldman's The Two Brothers: A Legend of Jerusalem (1997), this female-oriented story is told in folkloric style, adding a multicultural emphasis not present in the originals. Yaffa and Fatima both observe their own cultural and linguistic traditions, but that never prevents them from appreciating their differences and caring about the other. Fedele's artwork features earth tones (appropriate to the arid climate) accented in teal (for Yaffa) and red (for Fatima). A timeless story, this tale makes its point without ever becoming didactic." Booklist Online, "In this retelling of a tale rooted in both Jewish and Arab traditions, two neighbors are friends despite perceived religious tensions of the community. Yaffa and Fatima both own date groves right next door to each other. They share meals and talk and laugh. When Fatima sees Yaffa on the street, she waves and calls, 'Salaam! Peace!' Yaffa waves back and calls, 'Shalom! Peace!' The text becomes a list of differences between the two women. Yaffa prays in a synagogue. Fatima prays in a mosque. Fatima celebrates Eid. Yaffa celebrates Passover. Fatima is clad in a burgundy hijab, while Jaffa has a deep teal headscarf. Those two colors, set against a neutral backdrop, lightly accent the women's everyday surroundings as well. The tones are carefully placed to distinguish the two women but are also included in ancillary details to begin to build a feeling of unity. Gilani-Williams never distinctly references any conflict--in fact, even the Israeli setting is not specifically mentioned, only to call it the 'Land of Milk and Honey.' But readers can tell, because differences very much define the women's relationship, that they are overcoming some sort of obstacle in being friends. A subtle, visually arresting introduction to ethnic relations."Kirkus Reviews, "In this retelling of a tale rooted in both Jewish and Arab traditions, two neighbors are friends despite perceived religious tensions of the community.

The first half of the book sets up their friendship and lays out the different customs of each woman. Then hard times come. Separately, the friends each come up with an identical plan to help the other one out. The text is simple but lovely, as are the muted but expressive illustrationsboth of which suit the story perfectly. Its message of mutual respect and of the power of friendship to transcend differences is especially welcome right now."--Jewish Book Council, "Based on an old folktale with both Jewish and Arabic roots, this version of the story focuses on Yaffa and Fatima, two neighbors who are Jewish and Muslim, respectively.
