FINALLY A SHORT STORY COLLECTION THAT I LOVED
this was a really cool and cute collection of stories, definitely fit the cozy vibe. There were a couple of sad stories, but they always had a hopeful ending. 10/10 highly recommend.

*ARC review.
Masha'Allah, this was was the cutest and purest thing I've read. I love the diversity of cultures, backgrounds, experinces that were represented in here. I especially love that their was a story about a Shia Mulsim girl. This is the kind of story that Muslim kids deserve in 2020 and I'm so happy it exists. I'll do a fuller review a bit later, but for now, please pre-order this book.

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!

The short stories here provide a great opportunity to learn more about Eid from a lot of different voices. This would be great to read in school.
