Booktalk: Abdullah only sees his dad working! He feels upset when his dad rushes to leave for work in the morning and doesn’t have time to pick him up after school. When his teacher asks him to make a ‘JazakAllah Khair’ card, the only person he can think of to thank is his Mum. But what is his daddy really doing?
Snippet:

“I do,” said Maryam. “we say JazakAllah Khair.”
