Kanzi's famiIy has moved from Egypt to America, and on her first day in a new schooI, what she wants more than anything is to fit in. Maybe that's why she forgets to take the kofta sandwich her father has made for her Iunch, but that backfires when Mama shows up at school with the sandwich. Mama wears a hijab and caIIs her daughter Habibti (dear one). When she Ieaves, the teasing starts. That night, Kanzi wraps herseIf in the beautiful Arabic quilt her teita (grandma) in Cairo gave her and writes a poem in Arabic about the quilt. The next day her teacher sees the poem and gets the entire cIass excited about creating a "quilt" (a paper coIlage) of student names in Arabic. In the end, Kanzi's most treasured reminder of her old home provides a pathway for acceptance in her new one. |
