I received this book for review from Annick Press.
In the book we are introduce to quite a few different aspects of Jamal’s life. Jamal is Somalian and here are just some of the things we find out about his family: Jamal’s parents came from Somalia and sometimes his mom still misses it, his family is Muslim and follows the Koran, Jamal’s mom prays twice a day, they have bananas in their pasta and although Jamal’s mom wears a headscarf, his aunt does not and wears jeans and sweatshirts.
I found the book very interesting and I learned a lot about the Somalian culture. I look forward to seeing more books in this series.
