Rezensionen

Having her first book, The Arabic Quilt: An Immigrant Story, briefly banned by a school district in Pennsylvania -- doubtlessly for including the words "Arabic" and "Immigrant" in the title -- inspired the author to write this sequel.

Kanzi, an Egyptian-American, third-grade girl, is stunned and saddened when her school library removes books that feature people that look or live like her. So she and her classmates come up with a plan to fight back against this injustice.

Here's to keeping the hands of the thought police off our libraries!… (mehr)

An innocuous story about an Egyptian American girl overcoming some bullying at her new school by being able to share her culture with her class.

Incredibly, this gentle book got swept up in the anti-diversity book banning currently vexing our public schools, inspiring the author to create a sequel: The Great Banned-Books Bake Sale.

I would recommend this book for any elementary age because of the message it gives.
This book is about a girl named Kanzi who has recently immigrated from Egypt to America with her family. It follows her journey as she struggles to embrace her unique differences in her new country.
This would be a good book to have Arabic representation in the classroom or to use as a read aloud to teach about immigration.

Little Tato and their siblings look forward to rug-washing day at their Babo's in the summertime. The story is infused with joy and humor (such as when a rooster escapes, then all the chickens get out), and lots of love. Back matter includes a glossary, author's note, and a page about Armenian carpet-weaving tradition.

If there was ever a book that would get kids excited about washing rugs, this is it!
