Another really sweet addition to the Omar stories. Zanib manages to be so inclusive with seemingly minimal effort and puts to shame those who make it so explicit that it can get in the way of a good story. In celebration of World Book Day, Zanib is helping his friend get a book signed by his sister's favourite author since she's poorly. An against-the-time trip from London to Scotland ensues a heart-warming close at the end. All are supported by fun illustrations from Mafaridik and Cheng. I do love these stories.

Another great Planet Omar book! A nice short but fun adventure story about Omar and his friends as they go on an adventure to Scotland to try and get a signed copy of a book for Daniel’s little sister who is ill in hospital. There are nice themes of friendship and family throughout the book. There are also links to the Muslim faith, a great way to educate children and promote diversity within the classroom. This would be a good book for children just beginning to read novels as it is short and the pages include lots of pictures and different fonts and sizes of text. A fun story with lots of positive themes to explore with children.
