About The Book
Just imagine all the things you can do with a green piece of cloth. Will you turn it into the sail of a pirate ship or into a small tent? Just imagine. Will you turn it into a beautiful butterfly that will fly from one flower to another or into a super heroine that will protect everybody from evil? Just imagine…
Raya and Samar just imagine and have great fun playing with a green piece of cloth. This delightful picture book from the Middle East celebrates the imagination and creativity of children.

Raves and Reviews
“Cape, butterfly wings, hula skirt, tent—a piece of cloth ‘soft as silk, green as grass, and cool as a breeze’ fuels a day of imaginative play for two children in this lively picture book, first published in Arabic. ‘With a flick and a click, in just a blink, with no magic stick,’ pretend begins immediately after the child’s seamstress mother passes on the textile … Shama’s narrative illustrations expressively capture the way the item helps the children to envision entire worlds. Ages 3–8.”
