"In his grandfather's tales, Jim learns the story of his people and of the grandfather who traveled around the world and settled in the United States. A book for a child wondering about his ancestors, part story telling, part history, part sheer magic. Beautifully illustrated with hand-drawn maps and watercolors."
Amanda Cockrell, Director, Graduate Program in Children's Literature, Hollins University
SOME OF MY ANCESTORS are OTTOMANS and TURKS introduction to Turkish history or a great introduction for Ancestors/Family Tree Studies, International Studies, and Turkish-American Awareness. Excellent for Elementary and Middle School Libraries - a one of a kind book!
"Judy, congratulations for a delightful book. I enjoyed it very much. I also read the book with a 10-year old and found the interest and enjoyment as favorable. It is a book I would recommend to all who have Turkish and Ottoman ancestors."
-Sema Karaoglu, Founder Daughters of ATATURK
"I don't know what color Judy's eyes are, but they seem to see into the soul like an x-ray can see broken bones. For a long time I have been searching for a book like this about Turkish history and culture. It's everything I have imagined a book like this should be."
-Ayse Bostick

Hi everyone, Thanks so much for your great phone card. As an American who's deeply interested in Turkey, I have close friends in Istanbul whom I've called several times. Compared with the other phone card I was using, I find yours so much more economical. I was also able to talk with a friend in Poland for nearly a half an hour once and found I still had a lot of time left. Besides, the connections are really great. Chok teshekkur ederim. You also have a great website with a lot to offer. Keep up the good work. Regards.
