    Hi,
    One of my 7th grade teachers has used Shabanu to support the World
Civilizations unit on Islam for the past three years.  Although it supported
many concepts in the textbook, the repeated references to the title
character's emergence into womanhood made the boys in his classes
uncomfortable.  (Not to mention one parent's challenging the use of this
book).
    Now his class set is worn out and he would like to try a different
title.  After unproductive visits to the children's bookstores in the area
he asked me if I knew of any good books on this subject.
    Help! Any ideas out there?
    Please send responses to

Linda Schloegel, schloegell@home.com or lschloeg@sdcoe.K12.ca.us
Thanks in advance,
