After a field trip to the Festival of Nations, Sadiq and his classmates are inspired to host a festival celebrating their own cultures. Sadiq is excited to host a booth featuring Somali foods, games and crafts. But when he asks his friend Owen what he might show in his booth, Owen is quiet. Owen isn’t sure about his cultural heritage. Can Sadiq and his friends find a way to make sure everyone in their class has traditions to share at the festival of cultures?
Sadiq and the Festival of Cultures is part of the Sadiq seres from author Siman Nuurali, featuring fun-loving eight-year-old Sadiq and his lively Somali-origin family. Sadiq has many interests, from football to video games to cooking (and eating!) samosas. But he's always ready to try something new! In each book, Sadiq shares a hobby with friends and neighbours. A natural connector and friend to all, Sadiq invites readers in on the fun of starting clubs and making friends!
Christos Skaltsas was born and raised in Athens, Greece. For the past fifteen years, he has worked as a freelance illustrator for children’s book publishers. In his free time, he loves playing with his son, collecting vinyl records, and traveling around the world. Siman Nuurali grew up in Kenya. She now lives in Minnesota. Siman and her family are Somali— just like Sadiq and his family! She and her five children love to play badminton and board games together. Siman works at Children’s Hospital and in her free time she enjoys writing and reading.
