About Our Favorite Day Of The Year
Product Description ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ FIVE STARRED REVIEWS! ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A heartwarming picture book following a group of boys from different backgrounds throughout the school year as they become the best of friends. Musa's feeling nervous about his first day of school. He's not used to being away from home and he doesn't know any of the other kids in his class. And when he meets classmates Moisés, Mo, and Kevin, Musa isn't sure they'll have much in common. But over the course of the year, the four boys learn more about each other, the holidays they celebrate, their favorite foods, and what they like about school. The more they share with each other, the closer they become, until Musa can't imagine any better friends. In this charming story of friendship and celebrating differences, young readers can discover how entering a new friendship with an open mind and sharing parts of yourself brings people together. And the calendar of holidays at the end of the book will delight children as they identify special events they can celebrate with friends throughout the year. Review ★ " The dual focus on friendship and diversity makes this choice a winner. " -- Kirkus, STARRED review ★ "VERDICT A comforting story that will help build bridges among children of different backgrounds and faiths." --School Library Journal , STARRED review ★ "The highlight of this earnest celebration--of festivities, varied family configurations, and friendship--is Bell's art, created using digital brushes and scanned, hand-painted textures, which feature intricate patterns and endearing portraits of the students." -- Publishers Weekly, STARRED review ★ "Tremendously appealing artwork and child-friendly descriptions portray the "favorite day of the year" for four kindergartners from different cultural backgrounds." -- Shelf-Awareness, STARRED review ★ " Rahele Jomepour Bell's joyous illustrations make each celebration delightful, and her use of color and texture is impressive, whether she's capturing a flickering candle or a frilly piñata. Be sure to check out her quiltlike endpapers, too. Readers will revel in this openhearted look at how friendships are easy to form when everyone is willing to share and rejoice in what makes each person unique."--BookPage, STARRED review About the Author A.
