It Ain't So Awful, Falafel by Firoozeh Dumas

5.0

I had an instant love affair with this book. Funny, with a protagonist whose enthusiasm for life is infectious as she navigates serious conflicts and middle school life in the shadow of the Iran hostage crisis. My students loved Nightbird, which has similar themes of displacement and migration, and I think they will eat this up.
