Yaffa and Fatima: Shalom, Salaam

By Fawzia Gilani-Williams and Chiara Fedele

Two neighbors—one Jewish, one Muslim—have always been best friends. When they both fall on hard times, can they find a way to help each other? In Fawzia Gilani's retelling of this folktale—which has both Jewish and Arab origins—differences are not always causes for conflict and friendship can overcome any obstacle.
