Zamzam: Two Worlds - by Karen Abouraya

About the Book

"Zamzam divides his time between his grandparents' homes in New York City (United States) and Alexandria, Egypt. While the two places are different in terms of sights, sounds, and flavors, they share much in common. But the most important thing they share is family love."--
