Stunningly illustrated. -Kirkus Reviews When a sandstorm descends upon the city, Sakina and her mama forego their plans to visit the beach and head to the local museum instead. While Sakina yawns and scowls at the boring old relics, her mama's eyes keep filling with tears, moved by the details she recognizes. But when it's finally time to leave the museum, Sakina returns home with something unexpected . . . Can three uninvited guests help Sakina see the museum through her mama's eyes? This gorgeous, sweeping picture book illuminates the incredible power of art: it humanizes our ancestors, connects us to the past and to each other, and reflects the essential, universal human need to be understood and remembered. Discover another deeply moving story from Zahra Marwan, the critically acclaimed creator of the New York Times/New York Public Library Best Illustrated Book Where Butterflies Fill the Sky.
