Description

Little Intisar has a BIG job at her Auntie Mahira’s wedding: she’s going to dance in the group performance!

As she practises, she realizes there is one dance move that she just can’t do-no matter how hard she twirls and wiggles. Intisar worries she’ll ruin the whole routine, and disappoint Auntie Mahira.

Can Intisar’s family of movers and groovers show her that being herself is far more fun than being perfect?

With extra pages at the back of the book with non-fiction information about all the events of a Muslim wedding, this is a perfect book to read and talk about together.
