I'm so glad that you mentioned "The Situe Stories" by Frances Noble, Ginny! She is a long-time patron of my branch here in Santa Monica and her stories are wonderful.

All credit to Naomi Shihab Nye for the "bouquet of books" phrase, and much gratitude to Susannah and Megan for bringing Naomi Nye and her books into our conversation! Here are five books possibly not mentioned

so far, and three bear Naomi Nye's name. Each offers much to enjoy, about which to reflect and from which to learn. I've adapted four of the

annotations from annual editions of "CCBC Choices."


2. "The Situe Stories" written by Frances Khirallah Noble (Arab American

Writing / Syracuse University Press, 2000). Short fiction written and published for adult & teen readers. From a comment by Naomi: "Eleven lovely, delicious short stories with an Arab grandmother at the heart of

them."

Peace, Ginny
