In Diana Abu-Jaber's "impressive, entertaining" (Chicago Tribune) first novel, a small, poor-white community in upstate New York becomes home to the transplanted Jordanian family of Matussem Ramoud: his grown daughters, Jemorah and Melvina; his sister Fatima; and her husband, Zaeed. The widower Matuseem loves American jazz, kitschy lawn ornaments, and, of course, his daughters. Fatima is obsessed with seeing her nieces married Jemorah is nearly thirty Supernurse Melvina is firmly committed to her work, but Jemorah is ambivalent about her identity and role. Is she Arab? Is she American? Should she marry and, if so, whom? Winner of the Oregon Book Award and finalist for the National PEN/Hemingway Award, Arabian Jazz is "a joy to read.... You will be tempted to read passages out loud. And you should" (Boston Globe). USA Today praises Abu-Jaber's "gift for dialogue...her Arab-American rings musically, and hilariously, true."Binding Type: Paperback

Sweet book
Format: Hardcover
This is a book that opens up dialogue about kindness with children. The world is less kind than it used to be. The pictures are fun and relatable.

Amazing book
Format: Hardcover
Mom of 2 littles and I love this book! There is so much inclusion and it allows me to have conversations with my children about kindness, those with disabilities, and those of different colors than them. Bought a copy for every family with kids that I know!

One of the sweetest, most adorable books I've seen
Format: Hardcover
I don't write reviews as often as I should, but I felt compelled to write one for this adorable book. The pages are nicely illustrated with big, bold colors and the message could not be sweeter. I can't wait to read this with my daughter. I think it will become a household favorite.
