Book Descriptions
for Jerusalem, Shining Still by Karla Kuskin and David Frampton
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
The four thousand year history of this city of stone is evoked in an engaging, poetic narrative. Lavishly illustrated with colored woodcut images, the account features the city itself, rather than its inhabitants, from a primarily Jewish perspective. (Ages 5-12)
