Never say a mean word again : a tale from Medieval Spain  Cover Image Book Book

Never say a mean word again : a tale from Medieval Spain / written by Jacqueline Jules ; illustrated by Durga Yael Bernhard.

Jules, Jacqueline, 1956- (Author). Bernhard, Durga, (illustrator.).

Summary:

"Make sure Hamza never says a mean word to you again," ordered Samuel's father, the grand vizier. As the most important advisor in the royal court in medieval Spain, Samuel could hardly disobey him. But, what could he do to stop Hamza being mean to him? Inspired by a powerful legend, this light-hearted yet compelling story of two boys, one Jewish and one Muslim, shows how you don't need a trained monkey to hold someone's lips together to stop a bully.
When Samuel's father, the grand vizier, hears Hamza call Samuel names and tells his son to make sure Hamza never speaks an unkind word to him again, Samuel knows he must obey but has a hard time finding the right means to do so. Includes information about Jewish poet Samuel Ha-Nagid and the legend which inspired the story.
