Charming story featuring Zak, a young Muslim boy, who lies about his sister getting her into trouble.
Strong moral message at the end relating to a saying of the Prophet Muhamma.
The fourth picture book by J. Samia Mair.
Excellent story to present positive Muslim characters in children's books. Zak, the protagonist, is a very typical American child, based in a very typical American home.
The story avoids any ostentatious references to Islam. The only time it is mentioned is in relation to the rewards for good intentions.
