P is for Palestine: A Palestine Alphabet Book
T**C
Engaging and lighthearted story
The Israeli government worked with rogue entities within the US government and a variety of racist organizations to pressure booksellers to not seek this title. Why? The book has the audacity to suggest that Palestinian people exist and have their own culture, food, and traditions. If this isn’t enough to convince you to ourchase this title, consider that the book is charming, well written and well illustrated.

Can We Sing the ABC Even in Palestine?
This delightful children's book is meant to be engaging and enticing for young readers without being political. A is for Arabic; B is for Bethlehem; C is for Christmas; D is for Dabkeh; E is for EId; F is for Falafel; G is for Gaza; H is for Handala and "I is for Intifada. Intifada is Arabic for rising up for what is right, if you are a kid or grownup!""J is for Jesus;" "K is for Kuffiya;" "L is for Labneh;" "M is for Miftah;" "N is for Nazareth;" "O is for Olive and Orange Orchards;" "P is for Palestine, Precious to me and my people, evergreen like a forest pine!;" "Q is for Quds;" "R is for Ramallah;" "S is for Souk;" "T is for Thob;" "U is for Um & Ukht;" "V is for Vine;" "W is for Wallhi;" "X is for Xylophone;" "Y is for Yallah" and "Z is for Zaatar."In reading the book as an adult who follows Middle Eastern politics, I found hope in the unlikeliest place of a children's book for Palestine and the Palestinians' future. I hope those with an open mind will read it and be utilized to teach children from around the world about Palestinian children.

Love this book, truly kids book. Very simple. :)
I heard about this book on the news!! Apparently to some people this book should not have made it to libraries. So I bought it to decide for myself. I ended up loving the book and all my 3 kids love as well. It has nothing negative period. Everyone who is not sure, should go to a local library and take a look and decide for themselves.

Really nice book and we need to see more similar work
I love this book and Kids enjoy it. It is simple and an adult can build on it and further explain to Kids the meaning of the words.Thank you so much for this book and I believe there should be more of such books.Just like another reviewer said, shame on Amazon that this book doesn’t appear instantly after typing its title in the search box. Yet, you have to move to the bottom of the page to find it. Shame on Amazon for politicizing.

Sweet and beautiful poems with lovely illustrations
I got this book for my friend’s kid and they loved it. I loved it too. It has great colorful illustrations and it is written nicely. It is suitable for kids with different age range and also adults. Frankly, I am very surprised of hateful and totally untrue reviews of some buyers.

A beautifully written book about Palestine linking the alphabet to Palestines’ rich culture!
The sparkle in my children’s eyes as they listened to and engaged in a book that recognizes their country and culture was magical! The author does a phenomenal job of engaging readers with the alphabet and the illustrations are just beautiful! This book is vibrant/rich in both color and text! A must have for everyone!

Great book for children
Can we sing ABC in Palestine before they block the air.I got this book for my forth grade son since there was no books about Palestine when he was in kindergarten. I enjoyed it as much as he did, giving him an idea about the culture in Palestine, I highly recommend this book.
