The Children of the Tribes — A Multicultural Book for Children and Families

Some books are written from the outside in — researched, imagined, constructed. The Children of the Tribes was written from the inside out. It is a book shaped by memory, by heritage, by the kind of truth that only a family history can carry. It is also about morals, in a world where they are slowly being forgotten.

Stories from the Ancient World, for Today's Children

The Children of the Tribes brings to life the innocent children of an ancient people. It lets them tell their own stories in their own voices. What did they eat? How did they celebrate? What did they love? These are not history-book facts. They are living, breathing experiences. Parents and children can discover these tales together.

A Book Born from Two Worlds

Eva Wasserman-Margolis spent eight years writing this book. The story of why begins with her own parents. Her father, a Holocaust survivor, and her mother, born in India, gave Eva a childhood steeped in understanding. Human identity is fragile, precious, and worth preserving. This awareness of cultural memory — of what is lost when stories are not told — is woven into every page of The Children of the Tribes.

As a composer, Eva understands the power of themes that repeat across generations. As an educator, she knows how children learn — through story, through empathy, through the voices of other children and most important-through music. The Children of the Tribes is both a timeless story and an act of cultural and moral preservation.
