Kareem Between

In this heartfelt and thoughtful story, Kareem discovers what it means to live “between” two worlds: his home and his school, his family traditions and the expectations of those around him. As he navigates emotions like confusion, joy, and the longing to belong, Kareem learns that he doesn’t have to choose just one place to feel whole; he can embrace every part of who he is. With warm illustrations and an engaging narrative, the book encourages children to reflect on identity, diversity, and the importance of being true to themselves. It also nurtures empathy and positive social relationships, showing how every child can find their place in the world—even when they feel “between” cultures, languages, or experiences. Recommended for children ages 6 to 10, this book is an excellent educational resource for families and classrooms, especially valuable as a bilingual tool or as support for conversations about belonging, self‑confidence, and cross‑cultural understanding.
