However, he notices that his friends at school do eat ham, bacon, pepperoni... and starts to wonder why they are allowed but not him. Ahmad wants to understand why Muslims do not eat pork while others can. While visiting his grandmother, Ahmad takes the opportunity to ask her the question. His grandma explains in a simple way what it means to be Muslim and why pork meat is forbidden in Islam."--Back cover.
