Hamza's Saturday plans are cancelled when the family hears that Uncle Sameer has died. The book follows him through the rest of that day.
Most children arrive at their first janazah with no idea what is about to happen. This is written to change that — what the prayer involves, what people do and say, why things move quickly, and that feeling sad is entirely normal. Told from Hamza's point of view throughout, at a child's pace rather than an adult's.
A book worth having on the shelf before it is needed rather than after.
