The name Palma dates back to the Roman settlement on the site of the present city. Originally settled during the Bronze Age, in the early middle ages, it was conquered by Arabs. After that, in 1229, it was conquered by King Jaime I, ruler of Valencia and Aragon, and became an important trade city. Then in the 1950's, it became a tourist destination. Written by the award winning author, attorney and former teacher, Penelope Dyan, accompanied by the photographs of John D. Weigand, this 'learn to read' book with extra large print for little eyes, is the perfect size for a kid's backpack.
