Lailah has moved from Abu Dhabi to Peachtree City, and this Ramadan her mom finally lets her fast for the first time. Before sunrise she eats chocolate chip pancakes at Sehri, then heads to school with a note for her teacher, Mrs. Penworth, but on the bus she worries that Mrs. Penworth won't know about Ramadan and hides the note in her book bag. When lunchtime comes and she cannot find the words, a kind librarian helps her find another way to say them. A gentle Ramadan story about finding your voice and making new friends.
