This is a beautiful and touching short story about two young, highly impressionable females who are close friends in and out of school. The plot highlights their very different backgrounds, within two diverse cultures – one east, one west.
The story conveys tolerance, respect and love which the two girls have for each other, through obtaining the impetus to learn, understand and appreciate one another’s faith, customs and way of life.

This is a very light-hearted insightful book giving an easy to read narrative about different cultures. You can see the fun in young people's curiosity about different ways of life and the illustrations are magical!
This books is so good for children! It's a very enjoyable read! The author put alot of thought into it to educate kids.
Quite natural to be in contrast in view of the title, mentioning East and West symbolic of a great fusion of the traditional values.
A truly captivating and wonderfully heart-warming read which is also beautifully illustrated throughout. I loved it! Highly recommended,
It's a winner in all directions - East and West.
