When they get home and discover their mistake, their parents are shocked and angry, asking the boys if they realize who wears those things. They get so absorbed in the fun that they lose track of time and mix up their gifts: Daniel picks up Ismail's keffiyeh and Ismail takes Daniel's tallit. Taking their gifts out for a spin, they meet by chance on a soccer field, and they soon begin to play together and show off the tricks they can do. They live in the same city and have the same birthday, and this year they get the same presents: a traditional scarf-for Daniel a tallit and for Ismail a keffiyeh-and a soccer ball. A one-of-a-kind, uplifting picture book about a Jewish boy and a Palestinian boy who bond on the soccer field-translated into English, Hebrew, and Arabic.ĭaniel and Ismail, one Jewish and the other Palestinian, don’t know each other yet, but they have more in common than they know.
