Hi Diane, Where is Yonkela was written by Marilyn Hirsh, of blessed memory, and was based on a family story about her father when he was a baby in the Old Country. You were spelling "Yonkela" incorrectly, which is why the problem. I checked www.abebooks.com and found copies ranging from $63 to $150 a copy and up. Marilyn would probably have some interesting comment to make about that.
Marilyn was a scholar of East Indian art, a former Peace Corps volunteer, a woman with a personality larger than life sized and a heart to match. She died of cancer at 40. . Check the online encyclopedia of Jewish women for her biographical entry and my entry under Children's Literature for some information on her other works and her contribution to the field. Rita Berman Frischer Diane, I forgot to suggest that you might find an examination copy at one of Denver's Jewish libraries. Odds are there is still at least one copy in circulation there.
