From the 'It's Reading Time' series, Level 6, this story by Marilyn Mansour Al-Sabeh explores what it means to be different. 'Ghareeb' (Strange) introduces a character who doesn't quite fit in, prompting themes of suspicion and curiosity among others. The narrative beautifully guides young readers on a journey of understanding, encouraging them to look beyond appearances and overcome initial prejudice. It's a heartwarming tale that teaches the value of acceptance, the beauty in diversity, and how welcoming the 'strange' can lead to the most wonderful and unexpected friendships.
