A review by he_j
The Turtle of Oman by Naomi Shihab Nye

5.0

I lloved this book filled with adventures of Aref and his Sidi as they made memories of Muscat, Oman for Aref to cling to as he travelled to Ann Arbour Michigan while his parents study 3 years for their doctorates. I learned so much about the flavour of a place we will visit in January. It will give me insights in what to look for such as the many types of butterflies. Also their trip into the desert gave me the anticipatory feeling for our drive in the sand dunes near Dubai. What a treat this children's novel was!
