The Great Banned-Books Bake Sale

Aya Khalil

Upon learning that the books with kids who look like her have been banned by her school district, Kanzi descends into fear and helplessness. But her classmates support her, and together—with their teacher’s help—they hatch a plan to hold a bake sale and use the proceeds to buy diverse books to donate to libraries. The event is a big success: the entire school participates, and the local TV station covers it in the evening news. Prodded by her classmates to read the poem she has written, Kanzi starts softly but finds her voice. “You have banned important books, but you can’t ban my words,” she reads. “Books are for everyone.” The crowd chants “No banned books! No banned books!,” and the next week, the ban is reversed. Aya Khalil appends a note about how The Arabic Quilt was briefly banned from the York, Pennsylvania school system, and the backmatter also includes a recipe for baklawa, the Egyptian pastry that Kanzi prepares for the bake sale.

Classic Fairytales Re-Imagined -...

Shamica Latchman, Samatha...

Immerse yourself in the charming world fairytales and folktales, re-imagined and narrated for sleep by Slumber Studios.
Are you or your child struggling to fall asleep? No matter the cause, this audiobook is crafted to induce relaxation and guide you into a deep, restful slumber.
Fairytales and folktales have told the cultural narratives of human society for thousands of years. They weave together fantasy and reality into magical narratives that have captivated us for ages. The stories themselves change from culture to culture and from time to time. Many classic tales have countless variations. As society has changed, so have the stories.
This collection presents modernized retellings of fairytales and folktales from around the world. Some you will recognize immediately, while others may be new to you. Some remain closer to their "original" storyline than others. However, they all modernize the underlying plot in different ways. The purpose of these adaptations is to make the stories more suitable for all ages and more relevant to the modern world. For example, many classic fairytales have dark themes. We’ve reimagined these themes — not to suggest that the world is perfect, but to show that challenges can be overcome with a positive mindset. This collection is designed for all ages. Although the stories are specifically adapted to help you or your child relax before bedtime, they can be enjoyed at any time of the day.
At Slumber Studios, we specialize in creating relaxing content to help you relax and fall asleep. This audiobook features a slow, soft narration and calming background music, ensuring a peaceful journey into dreamland.
