Bookroo's summary
In Brooklyn, Moses, a Jewish boy, and Mohammed, a Muslim boy, meet by chance during overlapping holidays. Mistaken for brothers, they form a bond that unites their families. As Rosh Hashanah and Ramadan coincide, they share traditions and dreams of peace, challenging cultural divides. Can their friendship inspire harmony in a divided world?
From the publisher
An interfaith friendship develops when Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, overlaps with the Muslim holiday of Ramadan–an occurence that happens only once every thirty years or so. Moses Feldman, a Jewish boy, lives at one end of Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn, New York, while Mohammed Hassan, a Muslim boy, lives at the other. One day they meet at Sahadi’s market while out shopping with their mothers and are mistaken for brothers. A friendship is born, and the boys bring their families together to share rugelach and date cookies in the park as they make a wish for peace.
