PLANTING FRIENDSHIP: PEACE, SALAAM, SHALOM, is an interfaith friendship story about three girls - Molly is Christian, Savera is Muslim, and Hannah is Jewish - who meet on the first day of school. Through a class planting project, they realize they can celebrate their similarities and differences. And as their plants bloom, their friendship blossoms. We wrote this book as three women of the same faith traditions as the girls, hoping to help bring kindness and peace to the world.  Peace, Salaam, Shalom.
