Natalie recommends "Arab Americans in Metro Detroit: A Pictorial History"

Standing at 2%, Michigan has the biggest Arab American population nationwide.  As someone who has family that originates from Lebanon, I would like to learn a bit more about this topic for personal and general interest reasons. This book, while a quick read, was a nice one and the pictures provided feel like a mini time capsule.  

It can be found in our Local History section in adult nonfiction.

Kara recommends "Pie-Rats!"

This is a fun picture book just begging to be read aloud. A crew of swashbuckling rats sail the seas looking for a different kind of treasure- dessert!  I loved the detailed illustrations too!

This book is geared towards children, but can be equally enjoyed by the grown-ups in their life.
