When they meet on the first day of school, three girls realize they are different from each other – Molly is Christian, Savera is Muslim, and Hannah is Jewish. Through a class planting project, the girls’ friendship blossoms, and they learn they are more alike than they thought. Written by three women authors from the same faith traditions as the girls in the story, this book brings more kindness and understanding into the world.
PEACE, SALAAM, SHALOM
What our Vetting Team has to say:
“I love the "Spot the Seven Objects in the Girls' Homes" page located at the end of the book. It encourages children to go back and look at the illustrations to find religious objects in the girls' homes and it explains their significance and use. The illustrations are colorful, detailed, and engaging. The storytelling is simple and easy to follow. It is written by three women of the same faith traditions as the three main characters”.
