But her classmates support her, and together—with their teacher’s help—they hatch a plan to hold a bake sale and use the proceeds to buy diverse books to donate to libraries. The event is a big success; the entire school participates, and the local TV station covers it in the evening news. Prodded by her classmates to read the poem she has written, Kanzi starts softly but finds her voice. “You have banned important books, but you can’t ban my words,” she reads. “Books are for everyone.” The crowd chants, “No banned books! No banned books!” and the next week, the ban is reversed. Aya Khalil appends a note about how The Arabic Quilt was briefly banned from the York, Pennsylvania school system, and the backmatter also includes a recipe for baklawa, the Egyptian pastry that Kanzi prepares for the bake sale.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 264mmItem Length: 239mmItem Width: 13mmItem Weight: 416gAuthor: Aya Khalil, Anait SemirdzhyanIllustrator: Anait SemirdzhyanContributor: Anait Semirdzhyan (Illustrated by)Genre: Children's BooksTopic: Gender Sex & Relationships, Children's ReferenceType: Growing Up & Facts of LifeIntended Audience: Reception - 3, 7 - 10 yearsRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
