The great banned-books bake sale / written by Aya Khalil ; illustrated by Anait Semirdzhyan. by Khalil, Aya, author. Thomaston, Maine : Tilbury House Publishers, [2023] Subjects Egyptian Americans -- Juvenile fiction.   Prohibited books -- Juvenile fiction.   Immigrants -- Juvenile fiction.   Schools -- Juvenile fiction. ISBN:  9780884489672 (hardcover) : 0884489671 (hardcover) Description:  1 volume (unpaged) : color illustrations ; 27 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  Kanzi, the immigrant girl of Aya Khalil and Anait Semirdzhyan's bestselling picture book The Arabic Quilt, has come to feel welcome in her American school--that is, until an entire shelf of books about immigrant kids and kids of color suddenly disappears from the school library. Upon learning that the books with kids who look like her have been banned by her school district, Kanzi descends into fear and helplessness. 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.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library E -- Easy/Picture Books Khalil Checked In Add Copy to MyList Ewa Beach P/S Library E -- Easy/Picture Books Kh Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library E -- Easy/Picture Books Kh Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library E -- Easy/Picture Books Khalil Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library E -- Easy/Picture Books Khalil Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library E -- Easy/Picture Books Khalil Checked In Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Lahaina Public Library Floating Collection Khalil in Processing Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library E -- Easy/Picture Books Khalil Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library E -- Easy/Picture Books Khalil Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mountain View P/S Library E -- Easy/Picture Books Khalil Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
