This picture book for young readers about family, friendship and
faith is rich in the details of Middle Eastern village life. It
tells the warm story of a bond between a father, a son, and the
son's favorite camel, as well as their devotion to the Muslim
faith, and the power of prayer in their daily life. Salah and his
camel, Qadiim, are constant companions: They work together, eat
together, and sleep together. Salah is distressed, however, because
his camel always seems so sad and downcast, hanging his head low.
But in middle of one night, Salah remembers what his father has
told him -- that while mankind knows only ninety-nine names for
Allah, there are actually one hundred names. What if Qadiim, the
camel, could learn the hundredth name? Under the stars Salah prays
"to Allah with all his strength." The next day-- a seeming miracle!
-- the camel Quadiim carries his head high with a most knowing
look. Does Quadiim know the one hundredth name? Beautifully written
by Shulamith Levey Oppenheim and complemented by illustrations by
Michael Hays that portray the lush, verdant landscape of the Middle
East  from the banks of the Nile to its luminous starlit nights --
here is a spiritual and touching story of an Islamic family. School
Library Journal says: Â Set in a Muslim village in Egypt, this tale
of friendship and faith is warm and satisfying... (t)old with
sincerity and dignity, this tale skillfully weaves together
cultural and religious images... Hays's handsome acrylic-on-linen
illustrations create a strong sense of place."
