Summary

Musa has the perfect idea for his special Jummah treat, but things don’t go according to plan. Will Musa be able to get a yummy Jummah treat for his family?

Theme(s):

Community, Family, Traditions

Personal Response

Despite me disliking hot dogs immensely, Musa’s enthusiasm for halal hot dogs is infectious. This portrait of a family and community that takes joy and pride in their identity and traditions is inspiring and is s great window into the culture of Muslim Americans.

Teaching Ideas

This book would offer a great teaching experience for a family and community unit. Families and communities differ immensely from culture to culture and what better way to celebrate that than teach about it during a unit?
