Read this wonderful interview with Aya Khalil in School & Library Spotlight! "...with three beautiful children of my own, I wanted them to see themselves in books, to find positive representations of Arabs and Muslims, and to be proud of their culture, language, and religion."

2nd grade students read The Arabic Quilt by Aya Khalil. They created a paper quilt to show their uniqueness(pics coming). These 2 chose to read the book in their free time because the enjoyed the book so much! Thanks for writing the book Aya Khalil!

“The Great Banned-Books Bake Sale,” from Aya Khalil and Anait Semirdzhyan, has been named a Children's Book Council Notable Social Studies Trade Books Award winner! Raise a cookie to congratulate this book’s success and celebrate the power of reading and free expression! ow.ly/2mfb50QQuah
