Ali lives in Baghdad. He loves to play soccer, listen to music, and dance. Most of all he loves writing Arabic in the ancient art of calligraphy, making "the ink flow . . . gliding, sweeping, leaping" across the page. As bombs fall and war and devastation envelop the city, Ali fills his room with pages of beautiful writing and fills his mind with peace. Full-color, computerenhanced pencil and charcoal illustrations. A 2009 Charlotte Zolotow Honor Book.
