When Somaya and her beloved Giddo (Arabic word for grandfather) make their weekly trip to the market, Somaya is impatient to get to the tentmaker’s stall; she needs help to complete a birthday surprise for Giddo, but Giddo prefers to take his time to visit his many friends. At first Somaya is frustrated by the delay, but soon she sees the importance of checking in on friends. Like Hajj Mohammed who sells shimmery pots of ink and is sad since his son moved to a faraway land.“Good morning with roses and jasmine,” Hajj Mohammed greets them before inviting Somaya to choose a pen; Somaya bleeds a special birthday message onto paper for Giddo while he and Hajj Mohammed answer the call to prayer. Next, they visit the jeweller. All around sparkling abalone fill baskets like treasure boxes. “Good morning of sweet cream, dearest Somaya,” Mariam says as she strings together a beautiful necklace. Giddo decides to stay for tea with Mariam’s father. Somaya loves listening to their chatter as the minty tea dazzles her tongue.At last, they reach the tentmaker’s stall. Sunlight splashes through the covered roof onto the rainbow of fabrics lining both sides of the narrow alleyway. As Giddo oohs and ahhs over Ammu Safwat’s new designs, Somaya heads straight for his apprentice to get help with the final flourish of her gift to Giddo.Finally, they are on their way home where Somaya and her parents surprise Giddo with a cake and Somaya’s special gift showing Giddo, the best tentmaker of them all, that she’s now a tentmaker too! - E-bokEngelska, 2026

The most curious museum on Earth isn't on the earth at all; it's on the moon.
A 2024 Notable Poetry Book, National Council of Teachers of English
Honor Award, 2024 Lee Bennett Hopkins Poetry Award (Pennsylvania State University Libraries and the Pennsylvania Center for the Book)
Nominee, Intermediate Division, 2024-2025 Keystone to Reading Elementary Book Awards
“The poetry and facts complement each other and make for a nice flow of information and fun, resulting in sometimes goofy poetry.…A lovely picture book that mixes poetry and history about the moon.”—School Library Journal
"A provocative tally of treasures and trash." —Kirkus Reviews
Footprints forever etched in time. A commemorative patch from a tragic flight. Two golf balls, still lodged in frozen dust 238,900 miles away. From the amusing to the poignant, The Museum on the Moon introduces readers to the mysterious objects left on the lunar surface since humans arrived in 1969. Part history, part poetry, heartwarming and haunting, and illustrated with breathtaking graphite drawings, The Museum on the Moon is a moving exhibit of humankind's most famous quest for knowledge and our place in the universe.
From the book:
The primary goals of the United States' NASA Apollo program (1961-1972) were to establish space technology, carry out scientific exploration of the moon, and to develop ways for humans to work in the lunar environment. Six missions—Apollos 11, 12, 14, 15, and 17—landed American astronauts on the moon. The astronauts carried with them a variety of items that are now artifacts—some personal mementos, some tools and equipment for the purpose of moon transport and experimentation, and other things, like human waste products, unavoidable. Because the moon has virtually no atmosphere, these things remain on the moon, just as they were, and will presumably continue to be there for years to come. The moon truly is a museum!
