About The Author
Hi! Welcome to Kids Discover Israel!
My name is Sara-Ester Varnai and I am an explorer at heart. When I moved to Israel with my husband and 7 of my 11 children, the adventures began! As soon as I discovered the country’s ancient sites, I knew I had to reach out to children around the world, to introduce them to Israel’s fascinating history and archaeology.
At Masada and In Ir David/In the City of David are my first two books in the Kids Discover Israel Series. Join the young explorers, Dovid and Esty, in their escapades in ancient Israel.
I’m so excited to have you along for the ride and to see what adventures come our way!

What readers say
In Ir David review:
“In Ir David, Mrs Varnai spins a great story of the historical city of Kind David, by taking us back to the time of King David himself. Dovid and Esther have recently moved to Israel and their parents hire a guide to introduce them to key places around the country. Ir David is this book’s destination. With a handy magical gadget the brother sister duo disappear back in time to ancient Ir David for some amazing adventures that will leave u breathless. Definitely a great read-aloud or quiet read that will have you and yours turning the pages in ernest!”

At Masada review:
Caution:this book may have you making Aliyah. While reading this book I felt a strong urge to be living in Israel. I’m reading it again to my kids now, it is so engaging and relatable, while telling a story that is important for the Jewish people.

At Masada review:
At Masada is a wonderfully entertaining and educational romp into the past teaching children about Jewish history and Israel- I read this before going to Masada and was very enlightened by what I had learned. This book is for children but a great read for adults and others and anyone who has a love of history as well as a great imagination.
