Summary
Miles is a mischievous boy who often mocks others. During International Week at school, he makes fun of his teacher Ms. Patel's cultural dress. That night, Miles is magically transported through his closet to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. There, he meets a girl named Fatima who introduces him to the local culture, including food, clothing, and customs. Through this experience, Miles learns to appreciate different cultures and understand the significance of traditional clothing. He tries shawarma, learns about the hijab and keffiyeh, and sees the beauty in cultural diversity. When he returns home, Miles has a new respect for his teacher and classmates' cultural expressions. The story ends with Miles embracing his own culture (wearing an Irish outfit) and playing with his new multicultural friends. The main themes of the story are cultural appreciation, overcoming prejudice, and the importance of understanding and respecting diversity.
