The War to Save the Worlds by Samira Ahmed

5.0

Loved this adventurous tale of siblings saving the world, rife with Islamic tradition and elements of Rumi, ancient Urdu and Persian storytelling, and fantasy. These are the kinds of stories I am excited exist in the world; drawing on various cultures for all kids to see threads of their own lives and understandings in all kinds of genres. And, bonus for us that it’s set partly in Chicago! I’m certain my children will love it and appreciate all the local connections too. Handing it over to my 8 year old son now:)
