This book is great in that it represents both Spanish speaking families and Muslim families. It briefly touches on discrimination and prejudice against muslims and mentions Allah and Islamic history. It is written as a letter from a father to his daughter but does not explicitly explore this relationship, but has one or two depictions of a father and daughter together. ( )

Poignant and charming book. Good for non-Muslims to read for a father's perspective on raising Muslim children in today's world, but also a good reminder to make sure the children we raise know their ancestry, and know they will one day be ancestors. How might we live our lives differently with that in mind? Something to think about. ( )

An empowering story of a parent encouraging his child to celebrate the strengths diversity brings as she recognizes her unique ethnic and religious heritage.

Primary; Realistic Fiction; In a letter from a father to her daughter he tells her the world will eventually stop being so kind and will ask her where she is from and who she is and she will need to tell them. He gives her a small list of things she should tell them that define who she is and tells her she should be proud of who she is. This is a specific book about Muslim culture, so it would be great for students who are Muslim as well as students of other backgrounds that may not be the majority. ( )

I loved this book. It teachers its reader to not be ashamed of who they are and to embrace their differences. I think books like this are very important for young children to read so they can learn about different cultures. I think this is important because they can see that yeah they may be different, but they are still human and their differences make them unique. The illustrations really bring this book together because they are very detailed. I think the more detailed a picture book is the more interesting it is. All in all, I think a big take away from this book is love people for who they are, and embrace your differences. I Highly recommend this book. ( )
