(2) K-3 Wolf's photo-essay about an Egyptian Muslim family in Queens is marked by its natural juxtapositions of cultural particularities and neighborhood commonalities. The book gives attention to each of the three children in the Mahmoud family, ages eight, twelve, and thirteen, at school, at home, and with friends. The tone is low-key but optimistic; the large, mostly full-page color photos seem like those taken by a welcomed visitor.
