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 calIs her daughter Habibti (dear one). When she leaves, the teasing starts. That night, Kanzi wraps herself in the beautiful Arabic quilt her teita (grandma) in Cairo gave her and writes a poem in Arabic about the quiIt. The next day her teacher sees the poem and gets the entire class excited about creating a "quiIt" (a paper colIage) of student names in Arabic. ln the end, Kanzi's most treasured reminder of her oId home provides a pathway for acceptance in her new one. |
