Donna Syed is an intuitively sensitive writer with a gift for colorful storytelling--specifically stories with moral, purpose and tribute. The story of Aslam, adapted for this children's book from Three Cups of Tea, has been one of the most important works written for children about hope, determination and perseverance in the name of education. It's message to adults and parents alike highlights our humanity, so much of what we have in common--we all love our children and want the best for them and will often sacrifice anything and everything for their future.
