An empowering story of persistence and believing in yourself!

Samar has recently moved to America from Syria, and everything is new. Even the jump rope games at recess are unfamiliar. It doesn't help that Jenna, the class bully, keeps making fun of Samar's accent.

Samar decides to enter the school spelling bee to prove once and for all that she's smarter than everyone thinks! But learning the words turns out harder than she thought. Can Samar be persistent and compete in the school spelling bee?

Back to Islamic Books for Kids Celebrating Muslim Culture and Values

A beautiful book!

A beautiful book! Beautiful illustrations and a lovely message for children to keep on trying.

Being a book worm, I wanted to pass this onto my children. So when I came accross Ruqayas bookshelf, I was so very impressed, books relatable to children with strong islamic messages and teaching. My daughter devoured several of these books the morning I gave them to her. Spell it like Samar was her absolute favourite, she said " Samar is just like me". It was so lovely to hear as one of the most important things is for children to see themselves in a book🩷

One of my top favourites

Love the lesson of persistence in this amazing story. A must have

Persistence is Key =)

My daughter said this was one of her favorite books (& she loves all of yours') but this one she was able to relate to quite a bit, having been a good student in one language and traveling (& struggling with this new one) this book teaches that success is only through *persistence* of hard work.

Should be in every household

In a day and age where Muslims are constantly being attacked, this book is a reminder that we need to stand strong and persevere. This book will help empower your young children to stand up for themselves and be proud of who they are. The illustration is great and the content is even better. 100% necessary book in my opinion.

Must have!

Can’t emphasize how much I loved reading this! The story is absolutely inspiring and has a very important message of persistence that is so important for our children to learn. The illustrations are wonderful as well. A must have for every household!
