Book Description
At a time when we are all asking questions about identity, grief, and how to stand up for what is right, this book by the author of A Thousand Questions will hit home with young readers who love Hena Khan and Varian Johnson—or anyone struggling to understand recent U.S. history and how it still affects us today. Yusuf Azeem has spent all his life in the small town of Frey, Texas—and nearly that long waiting for the chance to participate in the regional robotics competition, which he just knows he can win. Only, this year is going to be more difficult than he thought. Because this year is the twentieth anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, an anniversary that has everyone in his Muslim community on edge. With “Never Forget” banners everywhere and a hostile group of townspeople protesting the new mosque, Yusuf realizes that the country’s anger from two decades ago hasn’t gone away. Can he hold onto his joy—and his friendships—in the face of heartache and prejudice?

What is Red? Is it just the colour of a rose or blood or does it have some other significance too? We humans, since time immemorial, have been very intensely emotional creatures. Red is one such color around which our whole existence revolves. Red is the color of hearts and roses, of a boy expressing his love or gifting his girl on each valentine, of love and desire, of the emotion a woman has for her man every time he showers her with his faith and tenderness. Red is the color that grows a man’s passion and aggression for his wife when she looks extremely beautiful and innocent or comes out feisty and bold and it is the same color that shows their strength, power and determination to fight and protect one another. Red is what everyone relates rape with and it is also the colour associated with the raging fire or anger when someone tries to hurt their closed ones. The book Red here is one such inspirational depiction of all the emotional aspects associated with the color Red

Languages : en
Pages : 333
Book Description
I Still Have Hope follows author Fadwa Carradins journey from childhood in war-torn Jordan, through a painful arranged marriage and the loss of her children, to hope of renewal. When Fadwa was nineteen years old, her parents decided that she would marry a doctor they believed would provide well for her but who proved to be so controlling that he would not allow her to leave home or have any unsupervised contact with friends. Fadwa could not divorce her husband out of fear she would be shunned by her family, so she followed him to the United States and later, to Saudi Arabia, focusing on being a good mother. Seventeen years into their marriage, her husband took a second wife and left Fadwa without sufficient means to support their five children. The only way Fadwa could ensure her children would get an education and have any chance of success was to allow their father and stepmother to raise them in Saudi Arabia and Palestine, not knowing when she would see them again. She returned to the United States in search of new opportunities, even removing the hijab head covering she had worn from the age of ten, so she could serve in the U.S. Army. I Still Have Hope tells the story of Fadwas loss but also of her persistent efforts to rebuild her life and have contact with her children again.
