The Most Magnificent Mosque by Ann Jungman
Visitors to the mosque at Cordoba are plagued by the tricks of three naughty boys: Rashid, who is Muslim, Samuel who is Jewish and Miguel who is Christian. One day, they go one step too far and as a punishment, they are forced to work in the mosque gardens, where they develop a deep sense of the building's beauty and significance. Many years later, when the Christian king threatens to demolish the Islamic Mezquita and build a church in its place, the three friends reunite to hatch a plan to save the great mosque... Ann Jungman's story demonstrates what can be achieved when people work together and don't waste energy hating each other.
Jaunty text and bright, lively illustrations|| Young readers will find this book a delight to handle with its generous format, shiny paper cover and smooth pages. || A brave story that shows the power of solidarity and mutual respect without preaching, told in a riot of rich, colourful illustrations.
