Review
In Amira’s second adventure, the Principal at her school has announced that they are going to have a fair to raise money for their new COLA - covered outdoor learning area – and all of the students are keen to do their bit.
But Amira is torn between her Lebanese and Irish/Australian heritage, and what she should make to sell at the fair. How will she decide what to bring?
Luckily, she discovers that she doesn’t have to choose at all and the day is a great success!
Exploring cultural diversity and food, as well as the great joy that comes to both children and grandparents when they spend time together and pass on important pieces of their heritage, this is a lovely story that will best suit readers from 6 to 9 years of age.
