Why read it?
1 author picked Salma the Syrian Chef as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Salma and her mom live in a refugee camp in Canada, and they miss Salma’s dad, who is still in Syria. Salma decides to cook a Syrian meal for her mom, but to make the meal a success, she needs to get help and ingredients from everyone in the village. I loved how making and sharing the food they miss from their home in Syria helped Salma and her mom start to build a new community. And the illustrations are as delicious as the food they cook!
From Cathy's list on Arabs that don’t feature camels or the desert.
