Hassan and Hassana are twins who share everything. So why won't Hassan share his bike?
In a quiet part of Sokoto city, the twins have always done everything together. As a reward for their excellent school reports, each gets to choose one special birthday gift: Hassan a bicycle, Hassana the Kalangu drum she heard being played at the market. She loves her drums, but she also loves riding his bike. So when his friends decide that bikes are not for girls, Hassan has to choose between keeping them happy and doing right by his sister.
Hassan and Hassana Share Everything is a perfect read-along picture book about kindness, fairness and the quiet courage it takes to stand up for the people you love.
