Fatima al-Fihri loved to learn about everything around her. She wanted to know exactly how birds flew, why the sky was blue, and how flowers grew from the dirt. But more than anything else in the world, she held onto one very special dream: building a school where anyone could study to become a teacher, a scientist, or a doctor. Through good times and difficult challenges, Fatima carried this incredible wish inside her heart. Fueled by her strong faith and fierce determination, she worked tirelessly to make her vision a reality. Her incredible school has now served students and scholars from around the globe for over a thousand years. This stunning true story introduces you to an extraordinary Muslim woman who never gave up on her dreams. It proves that with enough passion and hard work, one person truly has the power to change the world.
