Written by Randa Abdel-Fattah, Illustrated by Maxine Beneba Clarke
I really like this book! Eleven Words for Love shows the different ways to express love in Arabic. The illustrations are beautifully done in watercolor, pencil, and collage on textured cardstock. The text is in rhyme. I actually wish it had just a little bit more explanation of the differences between words, but because it’s in rhyme, it’s just simple. I’d say for grades K-3.
