This is a beautiful and touching story that educates youngsters about the cycle and circle of life. It teaches them about ethnic and religious diversity, about what Muslims believe and practice and about the philosophy of Montessori education which seems to make learning fun and natural."
—Muna Ali, doctoral candidate in Anthropology and contributing author on Arab and Muslim Americans in American Ethnic History

"This beautifully illustrated, wisely told tale fills a much-needed gap on the bookshelves of libraries, classrooms, and families with young children. It is at once a child's loving narration of her grandmother's final years and a fine presentation of a modern American Muslim family. Both Muslims and mainstream Americans will enjoy it."
—Michael Wolfe, author of The Hadj and Taking Back Islam: American Muslims Reclaim Their Faith, and producer of the film, Muhammad: Legacy of a Prophet

The puppies encounter many historical figures of the period, such as George and Martha Washington, Betsy Ross, Paul Revere, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin.
