While walking through his new Canadian neighborhood during Ramadan, Badir sees what he thinks is a very large rat, but soon learns is a beaver. - Baker & Taylor
"New Canadian Badir confuses the beaver in his neighborhood park for a very large rat."-- - Orca Book Publishers
It's Ramadan, a time to focus on good deeds and to fast, and Badir and his brother, Anis, are out for a walk one evening while they wait for their iftar meal.
In the park Badir sees a rat. A very, very large rat. He soon learns itâs actually a beaver, an animal that doesn't live in Tunisia, the country Badir and his family have emigrated from. It turns out that some of the neighbors who enjoy the park think this beaver is a bit of a pest, but Badir thinks it's wonderful and learns everything he can about the iconic Canadian animal. When a petition is started to remove the beaver, Badir, who knows firsthand how difficult it is to leave your home behind, rallies his classmates to save it. And with a little help from new friends, the kids learn that collaboration and faith can change the way we think about the world.
The epub edition of this title is fully accessible.
