"In this heartwarming celebration of sisterhood, three girls explore the natural world and discover the harmony of being the littlest, middle, and oldest sister.
Haala, the middle sister, loves to follow along behind her older sister, Sanaa, on their outdoor adventures. But her little sister, Munira, always seems to get in the way. Munira blocks the sun's kiss, interrupts the wind's song, and scares away the goldfish's secrets. Haala can't keep up with Sanaa when Munira's on her heels. But when the sisters take a moment to work as a team, they realize that together they can achieve anything--and that together they are sunshine.
In this celebration of the natural world, three sisters learn to help one another in a story that feels like a warm, bright hug."
"Assalamu Alaikum, Sister. Welcome.
Ameena feels invisible. Ever since she arrived at her school a few months ago, kids
look at her like she’s something strange. Is it because of the twists in her hair? Or
her brown skin?
Then, one day, there’s a new new kid in class. Ameena sees her. Sees her
brownness. Sees her hijab. Sees her in ways that the other kids do not.
Ameena wants to be her friend … but she doesn’t know how. She can’t seem to
find the right words … until one day, when they find those words together.
A moving celebration of friendship and sisterhood, Sister Friend shows the
importance of being yourself and the joy of finding friends who see your true
heart."
"Four kids meet at an airport for one unforgettable night in this middle-grade novel by four bestselling and award-winning authors
When a thunderstorm grounds all flights following a huge Muslim convention, four unlikely kids are thrown together. Feek is stuck babysitting his younger sister, but he'd rather be writing a poem that's good enough for his dad, a famous poet and rapper. Hanna is intent on finding a lost cat in the airport—and also on avoiding a conversation with her dad about him possibly remarrying. Sami is struggling with his anxiety and worried that he'll miss the karate tournament that he's trained so hard for. And Nora has to deal with the pressure of being the daughter of a prominent congresswoman, when all she really wants to do is make fun NokNok videos. These kids don't seem to have much in common—yet.
Told in alternating points of view, Grounded tells the story of one unexpected night that will change these kids forever."

Empowered by this newfound understanding, the young girl is ready to return the next day to share her knowledge with her class. Your Name is a Song is a celebration to remind all of us about the beauty, history, and magic behind names.
Your Name is a Song includes back matter perfect for parents, educators, caregivers, and young readers who want to learn more about the names featured in the story. The 'Glossary of Names' lists each name’s meaning, origin, and pronunciation.
