This book is well-pitched at young readers, with short, tightly plotted stories and related fun facts; the sort of book a child can read and re-read ... The stories are fun and irreverent, with the tricksters, widows, and young children generally winning out over the stiff, the stodgy, and the greedy ... the stories are updated to feel both timeless and contemporary. They take their young readers on a quick tour of different cities and landscapes, full of bright children, silly adults, and feasts fit for a hungry young reader. As well as being an excellent gift and keepsake, the book is also a very handy kitchen resource. In the end, it's hard to know whether this collection should be kept in the kitchen or on a child's bedroom bookshelf."<br><br>Winner of the Saskatchewan Arts Council's 2021 Wallace Stegner Award<br><br>"A must-read book ... Children's books are known for a lot of things, but teaching kids how to cook is not one of them. And yet, after reading Karim Alrawi's book, Arab Fairy Tale Feasts, one wonders, why not? Written by Alrawi in simple, approachable language and with obvious affection and tenderness for his culture, this book includes folk tales that immerse the reader and urge them to consider the Arab perspective. Each story is about food, feasting, and Arab culinary traditions, and concludes with a recipe for a traditional favorite dish, such as mamoul (date-filled cookies), shish taouk (chicken kebab), manakish zaatar (zaatar flatbread), and more. Arab Fairy Tale Feasts is part of a series of children's books that celebrates the cuisines of different cultures with kid-friendly recipes and heartwarming anecdotes. Grades 4-7."--Vancouver Writers Festival<br>
