We find it works particularly well with children aged 3 to 6, but the questions at the back of the book make it appropriate for all ages as a teaching device and discussion tool. The questions range from more topical questions, such as, "Why do you think Halil's mum is wearing a hijab?" and "Why do you think Halil had to leave Syria?" to more universal questions such as "How can Hannah help Halil and be a good friend?”. These questions can prompt discussions between a teacher/parent and children. “This book is already a firm favourite with my son!

Life is incredibly hard for all the immigrant families who work in the mine, but harder still for Hannah's - her father recently killed in the mine, her mother nearly dead from giving birth to the latest child. Hanna defies all convention and passes herself off as a boy to get into the mine that is their only real hope of salvation. Common wisdom is that women are bad luck in a mine, so when her secret is discovered, the superstitious miners are furious. Will she survive this too? Author Diana Vazquez paints a gritty portrait of the bleak mining shanty town and the lives of the people who live there. But it is the indomitable spirit of her unsentimental, blunt, and fearless heroine that will remain memorable to all who encounter her.
