This is a book that was created from a song by Harris J.  It is more of a poem than a story.  It shows how to be kind and live your life to the fullest.  Assalamu Alaikum is Arabic for "peace be upon you."

Writing ideas: Rewrite the chorus.  What are other words that mean "peace be upon you".  What does "peace be upon you" mean to you?

This story has certain words that are in blue and are bold.  Why do you think the author chose to highlight those words?

    I love books so much!  My particular loves are children's books and professional books that catch my fancy.  One thing that keeps me happy and sane as a teacher is being able to get tons of books from the library and share them with my students.  I have tried different ways to keep track of my books, but here's another attempt.  We'll se if I can make this one fly!
