5.0

So glad I finally read this, and finished just in time for Eid alAdha (of which there are a few stories in this collection)! Full of so many diverse experiences from around the world, different emotions, family situations, and stages of growing up, but all fit for a juvenile audience without infantilizing any of it. Also cannot recommend this book without mentioning the fantastic illustrations by Sara Alfageeh. Overall, a very joyous, wholesome, and heartwarming collection I will be even more happy to recommend now!
