There is power in the word PROUD.It feels good when someone tells you that they are proud of you.

After his father reinforces the rules and makes him go to bed on time, King Khalid challenges himself to find a creative way around the rules so he has more time to play his games. - Even if he has to learn how to design his own video game He signs up for a coding class with the ultimate goal of staying up late, but in the process he accomplishes something that ultimately makes everyone proud.King Khalid is Proud makes children believe in themselves, and helps them develop the type of confidence that turns into rock-solid self-esteem.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very positive and fun read. Any book affirming children of color, especially black boys, is a win. And this book does a great job of that as well as teaching a lesson (from black father to his son, which is another plus) about how to do more and think bigger. My little one loves it. Had it under his pillow while sleeping and it's even encouraged him and inspired him to start his own business.
The 1997 attempted assassination of Hamas leader Khalid Mishal by Mossad gained little public attention despite setting into motion a flurry of international diplomacy, culminating in the direct intervention of the US and then President Clinton. In a headlong narrative, with high-speed car chases, prisoner exchanges and international scandal that threatened the entire region, McGeough uses unprecedented interviews with Mishal and key players in Amman, Jerusalem and Washington to expose the rise of Hamas.

First published in 1911, Ameen Rihani’s Book of Khalid is widely considered the first Arab American novel. The semiautobiographical work chronicles the adventures of two young men, Khalid and Shakib, who leave Lebanon for the United States to find work as peddlers in Lower Manhattan. After mixed success at immersing themselves in American culture, the two return to the Middle East at a time of turmoil following the Young Turk Revolution in the Ottoman Empire. Khalid attempts to integrate his Western experiences with Eastern spiritual values, becoming an absurd, yet all too serious, combination of political revolutionary and prophet. The Book of Khalid offers readers a heady mix of picaresque, philosophical dialogue, and immigrant story. In this critical edition, Fine includes the text of the original 1911 edition, a substantial glossary, and supplemental essays by leading Rihani scholars. Demonstrating the reach and significance of the work, these essays address a variety of themes, including Rihani’s creative influences, philosophical elements, and the historical context of the novel. Attracting a new generation of readers to Rihani’s innovative work, this edition reveals his continued resonance with contemporary Arab American literature.
