On the way to the library, Sadiq and his family pass an empty plot of land in their neighbourhood. It looks like it could use some attention. Sadiq and his brothers and sisters come up with ideas for what the plot could become. A playground? A skatepark? Then a science unit about plants at school gives Sadiq and Hooyo another idea - a community garden! But where to begin? And how to get people involved? It’s up to Sadiq and his classmates to “dig in” and make the community garden a success!

Ms Battersby’s class is heading to the pond for a field trip. They hope to see birds, insects, fish and turtles! But one thing Sadiq sees makes him worried - dead fish! What happened to them? This question leads Sadiq on a mission to solve the mystery. When he discovers that the problem is likely polluted water, Sadiq and his friends form the Clean Water Crew! But what can kids do to help clean up bodies of water? Join Sadiq’s Clean Water Crew to find out!

Sadiq is looking forward to being a drummer in the school band when he’s old enough.

But then a mishap occurs with Hooyo’s durbaan. How will Sadiq explain it to Hooyo, and can he make things right?Sadiq and Hooyo's Drum is part of the Sadiq seres from author Siman Nuurali, featuring fun-loving eight-year-old Sadiq and his lively Somali-origin family.

A natural connector and friend to all, Sadiq invites readers in on the fun of starting clubs and making friends!

Sadiq wants to earn money to buy a birthday gift for Hooyo. A lemonade stand provides inspiration and, after some business advice, Sadiq, Zaza and Manny start a cookie delivery business! Sadiq’s brother and sister join in to help, but starting a business turns out to be tricky... and messy! With a sick baker, a cookie crash and other baking boo-boos, will Sadiq’s cookie biz be a bust?

Sadiq is eager to join the new school newspaper. He’s a good writer, and he likes asking lots of questions! But when Katy, the student editor-in-chief, hands out reporting assignments, Sadiq doesn’t agree with her idea of “news”. Instead of reporting on important things happening at school, Katy seems intent on embarrassing people! Can Sadiq find the courage to speak up and replace the paper’s gossip stories with real news? Somali-origin author Siman Nuurali offers another installment in the delightful Sadiq chapter book series.
