Marcia,
Judy did all she can do. The issue was brought to my attention by a children
book author and I’m sure that she will email soon.
The book troubles me for more than one reason, how come even Golda Meir or
women from the Bible are not mentioned as AMAZING WOMEN OF THE MIDDLE EAST.
This is
Shalom, chaverim:
A quick follow-up: I, too, brought this book to the attention of my local
public library (in my case, the NYPL system). I emphasized that while I
might have preferred a different editorial approach to the entire book (one
that might have included Jewish women of the Middle

A quick postscript to Amalia's message: I have also reached out, multiple

Hi,
" I have asked the Library to provide me with a list of the "numerous other
countries...that are also unlabeled"; the Library has yet to respond to that
request."
The technical issue here with the map isn't necessarily as safranim have
observed, i.e., that Israel is "unlabeled." Indeed,

they would not feature it in any way (such as on a "book of the month" display
by the entrance) so as not to appear to endorse it.
