Summary/Review:
The only world Ayah has ever known is in the refugee camp. It is hard for her to imagine what she wants to be when she grows up when she has no idea what the big world outside has to offer. When a little swallow bird pays Ayah a visit, the swallow gives her a glimpse of endless possibilities.

This heart wrenching story shares a glimpse of the life of child growing up in a refugee camp. What is even more touching is that the author herself grew up in a refugee camp and her memories of observing the swallows visit her in the camp has inspired her to write this story.

This beautiful story is full of hopes, dreams and resilience.

Assalamu Alaykum,

Welcome!

This is my cozy corner of the internet dedicated to Muslim Kid Literature.

I am on an endless search for faith-based books that captivate the hearts and minds of young Muslims. By offering detailed book reviews, parents, teachers, and librarians will have the opportunity to make informed decisions when investing in their child’s bookshelf.
