Abdullah has to guess the name of his new teddy in this sweet but powerful story about celebrating your cultural heritage.
One of Abdullah's Eid presents is a cuddly teddy bear. The bear used to belong to Abdullah's dad, his abba, and it has a name, but Abba won't say what it is.
Abdullah's siblings, friends and classmates all have suggestions - Bertie, Katie, Olivia, Edward - but none of them feels right. Then one night after hearing a family story from Pakistan, Abdullah has an idea - maybe the bear has a name from his own culture!
