A powerful story of hope and friendship during one of history’s darkest periods. Eitan and his best friend Rivka live in a lively community, yet once the ghetto gates close, escape is impossible. Set in Vilnius during World War II, the story sensitively portrays the horrors of Nazi persecution, separation, and survival, with a simple pebble becoming a symbol of endurance. Inga Dagile’s illustrations beautifully complement this moving tale of fear, resilience, and the enduring bond between friends.
