This book is excellent for kids of all ages. I bought this for my 4 year old twins and I've read it to them several times. The photos are excellent and the writing is simple and beautifully written. Makes a great gift as well!

This book is as must read for all folks no matter what age. It portrays the American dream only thru the eyes of a Muslim boy. It is sensitive, provacative, and has superb imagery of life. You must read this book.

This is a disarming, affecting, simple story about a Muslim-American Boy. I like it also because it depicts a real family, not a "typical" family. I found the story easy to read, easy to understand, yet deeply affecting and interesting. It is a perfect story to read aloud to my ESOL students, some who are Muslim. A really, really good book.

A profile of a real-life American Muslim boy and his family, depicted through simple text and photographs. This book introduces the five pillars of Islam, and cultural aspects of Islam such as hijab (women's headscarves) in an accessible way, as well as broaching the difficult topic of religious intolerance. My daughter was especially fascinated by the photographs, and flipped through the book again and again.

Simply beautiful, honest and real. I cannot think of a better book to share with young children, both Muslim and non-Muslim, to learn about and appreciate a culture lived by millions in the United States.
