An exciting day for Max and Mira: They get a new classmate from Africa, perform a play about being different, and learn that no two fingerprints are alike. At Mira's home, Max finds out why her mom is fasting and what happens during the Islamic Sugar Festival. In the evening, he certainly has a lot to share. The reading material addresses the theme of being an outsider and interacting with people from different cultures in a child-friendly manner. With its large print and reader-friendly line breaks, it is excellent for beginner readers. This edition also offers additional reading support through the color-coded highlighting of individual syllables. With the syllable aid, longer words can be read correctly on the first try, making the text even easier and quicker to understand.
