review 1: I do not know much about the Somalian culture so this book was of great interest to me. It made me want to look up and research more about their culture. I believe that we should teach children about racism and new cultures other than their own in the classroom at a young age so I would like to have many diverse books in my classroom in the future. This book gave great insight into the Somalian culture. It was also beneficial to have a glossary in the back of the book for terminology that some people would not be familiar with.
review 2: 14-year-old Samia is a British Somalian Muslim teenager, trying to come to terms with her identity and how life will change when her father returns home, a father she has not seen in 10 years and was presumed dead for a long ti... moreme. What I loved about the book was the honest perspective and the interweaving of Somalian Muslim phrases and the challenges and rewards of being Somalian and Muslim. However, at the same time, the writing at times felt a bit forced. less
