Habibi - I ordered the wrong version....


Recommended Posts

I guess that is a lesson to pay attention more :) I ended up with a graphic novel by the name of Habibi which although very well done is a much more mature book than the book by the same name. I quite enjoyed the preview on Amazon but I'm not certain if I want ds 12 to read it. Has anyone read the graphic novel Habibi in its entirety?

No. I only know the Naomi Shihab Nye book, which I assume is what you meant to get. She's such a wonderful writer and poet.

Yes, that version is not available in our library system.

 

I got this version: https://www.amazon.com/Habibi-Pantheon-Graphic-Novels-Thompson/dp/0375424148

 

The online preview has child marriage, slavery, r*pe, prostitution- 

 

Saying all of that it is very well done but although we've talked about a lot of things we've not done so as explicitly as this book. I think I'll just read it myself and hold him off on this one.
