About This Item
New York, New York, U.S.A.: Aladdin Paperbacks, 1997 Not a facsimile or a reprint, assume 1997 first paperback edition published by Aladdin Paperbacks, which was acquired by Simon & Schuster in 1978, and founded by Jean Karl who also founded Atheneum for Knopf in 1967. "Sitti" is the arabic word for grandmother and this book was written by a Palestinian American who also visited her grandmother in the middle east from time time. This lovely book describes a visit with a grandmother who bakes bread outside, has a lemon tree and can tell if people will have good luck by their foreheads. The story ends with a plea for peace. Near fine condition, one first name of previous child owner in pencil. Very light wear to edges and corners, otherwise like new.
