<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Yara has mixed emotions on her first day of school in her new home. She is happy to be in school again but sad to be away from her home country. The way her new classmates treat her is crucial to her experience..<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Every parent has an image in their mind of what their children will be like when they grow up. Being a successful adult starts when children are taught the elements of success from a young age. For example, qualities like love, respect, generosity, care and kindness foster happy and thriving individuals. It may be easy to practise these habits with friends, but much harder to treat new people this way--even for adults. But if children are taught these elements early on, these positive habits can become second nature. Creating an awareness of the world from a young age will help children to become considerate and caring adults to those around them.<br /> <br /> "Yara, My Friend from Syria" is the first in a series of books that emphasizes on two main goals: The first is to plant good qualities into children's pure hearts, so they may become like fruitful trees as they grow up. The second is to increase children's awareness of global affairs, which may seem upsetting at times but are the reality of the world around us.<br /> <br /> This book is about a Syrian girl's first day of school in Canada. It depicts her mixed emotions, as she is happy to be in school again but sad to be away from home. The way her new classmates treat her is crucial to her experience.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Yara, my Friend from Syria" is a great book! This book excels by going beyond the usual "let's form a friendship"-books because it tells a story most Canadian and American children don't know. Though probably most of American and Canadian children have seen videos or pictures from war torn Syria, most children probably can't picture a beautiful Syria where apple trees grew.</p><p>- Gisela Hausmann, author & review expert</p><p> </p><p>If I could make one wish, it would be that this book was in every elementary class, in every library in the USA, in Canada and for sure also in Europe. 'Yara, my friend from Syria' is an amazing picture book. Without following a special course or class, just by reading this children's book, we all, children as well as adults who read for their kids, start looking at refugees with other eyes, at another way. I so much thank Alhan Rahimi for making this book because the world need it so much.</p><p>- Lieve Snellings, author</p><p> </p><br>
