Raves and Reviews
“Cape, butterfly wings, hula skirt, tent—a piece of cloth ‘soft as silk, green as grass, and cool as a breeze’ fuels a day of imaginative play for two children in this lively picture book, first published in Arabic. ‘With a flick and a click, in just a blink, with no magic stick,’ pretend begins immediately after the child’s seamstress mother passes on the textile … Shama’s narrative illustrations expressively capture the way the item helps the children to envision entire worlds. Ages 3–8.”
