Saif is ""just shy,"" or at least that's what everyone tells him. When his mom comforts him with a patchwork quilt made of his special memories, he remembers that he's so much more. He was brave when he went down the biggest slide at the Eid picnic. He was smart when he won the scavenger hunt among his friends. He was persistent when it took him a year to learn to read the Quran. He's helpful when he lends a hand to clean up the mosque. Saif isn't just shy. Like his patchwork quilt, he is still growing.
