A small but growing Muslim community there had been using a cramped trailer for their services, but there just wasn't enough space. The mosque travelled over 4,000 kilometers on a journey fraught with poor weather, incomplete bridges, narrow roads, low traffic wires and a deadline to get on the last barge heading up the Mackenzie River before the first winter freeze. But it made it just in time and is now one of the most northern mosques in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis beautiful picture book reminds us that the collective dream of fostering a multicultural and tolerant Canada exists and that people of all backgrounds will come together to build bridges and overcome obstacles for the greater good of their neighbors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shazia Afzal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1459827600\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781459827608\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Orca Book Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 11.00w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2022 pg. 46\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2022 pg. 152","brand":"Shazia Afzal","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44052312195327,"sku":"9781459827608","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dc784c6a-9571-4f98-8f4e-ce160dd6a415.jpg?v=1685018107","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/journey-of-the-midnight-sun-shazia-afzal-9781459827608","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
