from Weekly Signals Interviews
Elizabeth Laird discusses her new book A Little Piece of Ground. While A Little Piece Of Ground is written for young readers, it addresses one of the worst conflicts afflicting our world today. Laird, one of Great Britain's best-known young adult authors, explores the human cost of the occupation of Palestinian lands through the eyes of a young boy. Laird talks about her research work in Ramallah, the children she met there and their lives under occupation. She will also talk about how US publishers originally turned down publication of the book because of criticism from pro-Israeli organizations. Recorded January 2, 2007
