NEW PERSPECTIVES: Books featuring the world wars, remembrance day, or veterans often focus on white European and North American soldiers. This book is from the perspective of a young Muslim boy and his efforts to piece together his family’s lost history inspires his community to do the same. A NEW LOOK AT HISTORY: This story is contemporary with a child at its center, emphasizing the multigenerational impacts of war, rather than glamorizing war or victory. IMPACTFUL ILLUSTRATIONS: Beautiful spreads featuring Muhammad’s mosque illustrate the diversity of the Muslim community and how much of a part of the community it is, rather than just a place of religious worship. EDUCATOR’S GUIDE: Free resources will be available for download at AnnickPress.com, and in Edelweiss, Bookmanager, CataList. LEVELING INFO: Coming soon
