Saving Sunshine

Saadia Faruqi

Regular price $19.99

From Saadia Faruqi and Shazleen Khan comes a relatable, funny, and heart-wrenchingly honest graphic novel about Muslim American siblings who must learn how to stop fighting and support each other in a world that is often unkind.

It's hard enough being a kid without being teased for a funny sounding name or wearing a hijab.

It's even harder when you're constantly fighting your siblingā€”and Zara and Zeeshan really can't stand each other. During a family trip to Florida, when the bickering, shoving, and insults reach new heights of chaos, their parents sentence them to the worst possible fateā€” each otherā€™s company! But when the twins find an ailing turtle, it presents a rare opportunity for teamworkā€”if the two can put their differences aside at last.
