It's Eid al-Adha, and Sami wants to celebrate. But this year is different after his grandfather's passing. A touching picture book about kindness towards others.

Sami worries that the Eid al-Adha carnival won't be as fun without Dede (his grandfather), who died recently. Sami's grandmother sends him one of Dede's ties, and Sami vows to never take it off.

After going to the mosque for Eid prayer, Sami's family stop at the shelter where Baba and Anne volunteer. Can an unexpected encounter and a special gift help Sami change his mind about celebrating?

The gift of giving and putting yourself in someone else's shoes shines through in this engaging, poignant holiday story.
