It tells the heartfelt tale of Kanzi, an Egyptian-American girl navigating a new school and culture, using her grandmother’s quilt as a symbol of identity and acceptance. The book features a glossary of Arabic words, phonetic English equivalents, and promotes themes of diversity, empathy, and cultural pride. Highly rated and celebrated for its educational and emotional impact, it’s a must-have for fostering multicultural understanding in young readers. ## Description Kanzi's family has moved from Egypt to America, and on her first day in a new school, what she wants more than anything is to fit in. Maybe that's why she forgets to take the kofta sandwich her mother has made for her lunch, but that backfires when Mama shows up at school with the sandwich. Mama wears a hijab and calls her daughter Habibti (dear one). When she leaves, the teasing starts. That night, Kanzi wraps herself in the beautiful Arabic quilt her teita (grandma) in Cairo gave her and writes a poem in Arabic about the quilt. Next day her teacher sees the poem and gets the entire class excited about creating a "quilt" (a paper collage) of student names in Arabic. In the end, Kanzi's most treasured reminder of her old home provides a pathway for acceptance in her new one. This authentic story with beautiful illustrations includes a glossary of Arabic words and a presentation of Arabic letters with their phonetic English equivalents. full color ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Dimensions | 9.4 x 0.4 x 10.4 inches | | Grade Level | 1 - 5 | | Isbn 10 | 0884487547 | | Isbn 13 | 978-0884487548 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Part Of Series | The Arabic Quilt | | Print Length | 36 pages | | Publication Date | February 18, 2020 | | Publisher | Tilbury House Publishers | | Reading Age | 4 - 6 years, from customers | ## Images ![The Arabic Quilt: An Immigrant Story - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71NcHilCPsL.jpg) ![The Arabic Quilt: An Immigrant Story - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51rS4aUQQZL.jpg) ![The Arabic Quilt: An Immigrant Story - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61OlqC52fuL.jpg) ![The Arabic Quilt: An Immigrant Story - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ogElxjVQL.jpg) ![The Arabic Quilt: An Immigrant Story - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61wje0E-P3L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Arabic Quilt: An Immigrant Story - The Proudest Blue: A Story of Hijab and Family (The Proudest Blue, 1) - Halal Hot Dogs --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/150385278-the-arabic-quilt-an-immigrant-story](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/150385278-the-arabic-quilt-an-immigrant-story) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-08-02*
