The authors visited schools and community centers, interviewing young Palestinians about their lives under Israeli occupation. Children, teens, and twenty-somethings speak candidly about daily life; interests; and difficulties of living with checkpoints, security walls, and poor living conditions. Some context about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is provided, but this book concentrates on the Palestinian point of view. Small color photographs appear throughout.

Vivid full-page close-up photographs of people around the world preparing and enjoying favorite foods make this book a visual feast. Nineteen countries are represented, with just six steps or fewer to the finished dishes. Cuisine is presented as a unifying, participatory family art, with children fully involved in preparation--and consumption. Experimentation with international tastes is celebrated.

This diminutive book provides basic information about the history of the Islamic Empire, beginning with the establishment of Islam and ending with the Mughals. The density of text may turn off readers; there's a lot of information packed onto each page. Thumbnail photographs of artwork, artifacts, and ruins, most from the British Museum's collection, help readers visualize the setting. Reading list, timeline, websites.
