  This collection of Christmas nursery rhymes, complete with book cover images, and accompanying opening/closing song and background music, is designed to be a comprehensive and immersive holiday experience for children and families. The primary purpose of these rhymes is to capture the magic, wonder, and diverse traditions of the Christmas season in a format that is both engaging and accessible to young minds, particularly those aged six to eight. 
  The intent behind this collection is multifaceted. First, it seeks to provide a fresh and original source of festive storytelling that goes beyond the classic carols and rhymes. By introducing new characters, such as (in later collections) the Christmas starfish and the caroling mice, alongside beloved figures like Santa Claus and the Nutcracker, the collection aims to spark children's imaginations and create new holiday traditions. The rhymes are crafted to be easily readable and memorable, with rhythmic verses that support early literacy skills and a love for poetry. 
  Furthermore, the collection is designed to be a versatile resource for parents and educators. These shorter rhymes are perfect for recitation and memorization and offer narratives for bedtime stories or classroom reading. The inclusion of opening and closing songs transforms the book into a potential musical or theatrical production, encouraging creative expression and performance.

  The Occupied City - How Israel...

  East Jerusalem is more than a city; it is a battleground of maps, walls, and blueprints. In The Occupied City: How Israel Shapes Palestinian Life, readers are taken inside one of the world’s most contested urban landscapes, where every building permit, zoning law, and planning decision becomes a tool of power. 
  Drawing on years of research and first-hand interviews with Palestinian residents, urban planners, and human rights experts, this book exposes how Israeli urban planning policies restrict Palestinian access to housing, fracture communities, and rewrite the very geography of Jerusalem. It reveals how control is exercised not only through military presence but through bureaucratic procedures, economic pressures, and cultural erasure—quiet mechanisms that determine who gets to build, who is forced to leave, and whose story is allowed to endure. 
  At once rigorous and deeply human, The Occupied City gives voice to those living under the daily weight of planning systems designed to dispossess them. It uncovers the hidden architecture of occupation while also spotlighting acts of resilience, resistance, and visions for a more just future. 
  Essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the Israeli–Palestinian conflict beyond headlines, this book demonstrates how urban planning—often regarded as technical or neutral—is, in fact, one of the most powerful weapons in the struggle over land, rights, and survival.
