Critics Review
Relatable, clever, and authentic! Hassan’s story will resonate with every Muslim. * HATEM ALY, New York Times bestselling illustrator of The Proudest Blue *
One of the year’s best graphic novels. * JASON SHIGA, creator of Meanwhile and Adventuregame Comics *
A heartfelt and hilarious story about a kid who’s just trying to follow the rules. * PEDRO MARTÍN, creator of Newbery Honor–winning Mexikid *
Your heart will melt and your mouth will water as you follow Hassan, who balances faith, grades, soccer, and an empty stomach during Ramadan. * TERRI LIBENSON, author of the New York Times bestselling Emmie & Friends series *
This uplifting story highlights the struggles of some fasting Muslim kids, but Algarmi focuses on Hassan’s perseverance and ability to own up to his mistakes and turn things around. Action-packed panels showing Hassan’s school days contrast with quieter moments with family. Many wordless sequences offer glimpses of the Yemeni community. An inspiring look at the challenges and courage needed to be true to one’s faith. * Kirkus Reviews *
