Reviews

School Library Journal

“The Dubai skyline, with its imposing skyscrapers and its market with colorful textiles and other wares, provides a sharp contrast to the bare desert landscape.”—School Library Journal

Kirkus Reviews

“Foreman’s straightforward text and soft double-page spreads . . . take readers directly into his tale. . . . [A] low-key introduction to a far-off place.”—Kirkus Reviews

Booklist

“Touches of folktale blend well with this take on traditional and modern life.”—Booklist
