PRODUCT SUMMARY
For sale in U.S. and Canada only-- Meet Issa, an 11-year-old boy living in Amman, the capital of Jordan. Issa and his family are Muslims, and their religion is a very important part of their lives. Friday is a holy day, which means Issa has no school, but instead, worships at a local mosque with his father and then has a huge meal at the family farm with his parents, grandparents, sisters, aunts and uncles. Issa is learning how to tend the farm so that he can manage it someday when he is older. Join Issa and his family as they observe the Muslim tradition of Ramadan. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online.
Part of the multivolume Families Around the World Video Series.
EDITORIAL REVIEWS
"The importance of family and cultural heritage is stressed...this glimpse into other children's lives is interesting and would provide excellent compare/contrast opportunities..."- School Library Journal (Sept 2003)
