Publisher's Synopsis
Jill the Giraffe is throwing her first-ever Eid lunch party.
She has been working hard in the kitchen all week, and now, on the Eve of Eid, she is just finishing off the most important part...her special Eid pistachio baklava, with melted chocolate drizzled on top.
But the next day, as she and her friend Oliver the Owl are setting the table, three of the baklavas mysteriously disappear.
Who was responsible for this mysterious disappearance?
Was it Darrel the donkey or Sly the shark?
Was it Herb the hyena or Harriet the hippo?
This tale, would you believe, is based on a true story from the author's own life. And yes, first of all, it's a fun story all about fun animal friends, an Eid lunch, and some disappearing baklavas, but it is also a story with a lesson. This is a great read for any parent hoping to encourage the virtues of friendship and forgiveness, and that conflict will happen in life, but it is always possible to reconcile, move on, and have a good time. A fun story with a hidden moral!
