![]() ![]() I would recommend this to any who enjoy a good picture book. It was wholesome and beautiful and I would definitely recommend this to anyone who believes in the acceptance of different cultures and wants to read something cute and happy! The art was beautiful and the story was too! This was a story of acceptance and beauty in different cultures and languages. This was an absolutely adorable, heartwarming story about a little girl that is new in school and deals with her classmates having to learn about her culture. This is a picture book and I’m so so happy I was informed about this by the author and given the chance to read it through edelweiss+ (though this does not change my thoughts). This authentic story with beautiful illustrations includes a glossary of Arabic words and a presentation of Arabic letters with their phonetic English equivalents. In the end, Kanzi’s most treasured reminder of her old home provides a pathway for acceptance in her new one. Next day her teacher sees the poem and gets the entire class excited about creating a “quilt” (a paper collage) of student names in Arabic. ![]() ![]() ![]() That night, Kanzi wraps herself in the beautiful Arabic quilt her teita (grandma) in Cairo gave her and writes a poem in Arabic about the quilt. ![]()
