or, I've remembered this book and I don't know what book it is. I think I read it as a kid, and the beginning bit of it talked about the cedars of Lebanon. I think it was about a little family that lived in a city and they were of Lebanese origin, but anyway it began by talking about the cedars of Lebanon. Maybe by Rumer Godden?

Anyone? (this is so not enough information for you to go on)

Wow when i originally read the topic i thought "hey i can do this i just found one of the boooks i read a while back

but i remeberered the majority of the story that it had been donated to the library for someone in my family and i knew more of the storyline in general

hey but i didn't know the name of the author

my suggestion do what i did go scrounging on Amazon with titles that seem to match the idea of the book

That sounds really familiar, actually...

Did you check SIPs at Amazon?

I give credit to fact that I used to work at a bookstore and spend a lot of time looking up old children's books.
