Another favorite of Raya's. She loved the detailed and bold colored illustrations. The story is great showing 2 siblings helping the community after a devastating hurricane ruins their city. This chapter book is definitely for older children. The author includes a glossary of new words.

This can and should be read by both Muslims and non-Muslims as it shows how a community comes together after a disaster.
