Love the lesson of persistence in this amazing story. A must have

My daughter said this was one of her favorite books (& she loves all of yours') but this one she was able to relate to quite a bit, having been a good student in one language and traveling (& struggling with this new one) this book teaches that success is only through *persistence* of hard work.

In a day and age where Muslims are constantly being attacked, this book is a reminder that we need to stand strong and persevere. This book will help empower your young children to stand up for themselves and be proud of who they are. The illustration is great and the content is even better. 100% necessary book in my opinion.

Can’t emphasize how much I loved reading this! The story is absolutely inspiring and has a very important message of persistence that is so important for our children to learn. The illustrations are wonderful as well. A must have for every household!

This book is a must have. It does a phenomenal job of capturing your emotions from the get-go. As you flip through the pages, you become emotionally invested in Samar’s growth and pursuit of happiness and knowledge. By the end of the book, you are left celebrating as if you are a member of the family. Extremely well written
