Grade 2-4--The relationship between three young Arab-American sisters and their grandmother is profiled in this series title. The narrative moves between scenes of the girls and their grandmother at home in New Jersey to Grandma Hekmatt's memories of her former home in Egypt. Glimpses of Arab culture are gleaned from scenes of various activities, such as belly dancing, baking kahek, and learning how to write in Arabic. Though the family's religion is not the focus of the book, they are shown attending services at a mosque and celebrating Ramadan.
