Arab Arab All Year Long!
Cathy Camper, illustrated by Sawsan Chalabi
Across twelve monthly spreads, this picture book follows Arab families and individuals through traditions, celebrations, and everyday activities. The people shown have varied skin tones, clothing styles, religions, and interests. Children make a comic about Ramadan after reading about Martin Luther King Jr., and they prepare maamoul with their grandmother for Easter. Other scenes feature warak enab, pomegranates, hijabs, keffiyehs, doumbek drumming, henna designs, Arabic calligraphy, and plans for a comic convention. The book presents Arab identity as part of family life, friendship, cultural practices, and ordinary days throughout the year.
