An Egyptian Muslim family's celebration of Ramadan through the eyes of an eight-year-old boy.
This book traces a child’s journey to self-love and shows the power of words to both hurt and heal. With spare text and exquisite illustrations, this emotional exploration of being big in a world that prizes small is a tender portrayal of how you can stand out and feel invisible at the same time.
