Victory on the Walls A Story of Nehemiah by Frieda Clark Hyman

My eleven year old read this to himself to build schema before we study this part of history.
Bani, Nehemiah's nephew, relates the story of Nehemiah and how the people of Judah rebuild Jerusalem's walls.  The narrative takes children to this time in history and brings it alive.
