December 18th is World Arabic Language Day. The date was chosen because the General Assembly approved Arabic as an official United Nations (UN) language on December 18, 1973. 2022 is the tenth year the UN has celebrated the language that is used daily by more than 400 million people. 2022 is also the year this book was published to celebrate the beauty and diversity of life in the Arab diaspora.
Arab Arab All Year Long! by Cathy Camper & Sawsan Chalabi (06/14/22)
Yallah! From January to December, join some busy kids as they partake in traditions old and new. There’s so much to do, whether it’s learning to write Arabic or looking at hijab fashion sites while planning costumes for a local comic convention. With details as vivid as the scent of jasmine and honeysuckle perfume (made to remind Mom of Morocco), children bond with friends, honor tradition, and spend loving time with family.
