The Book Worm Club met yesterday after a long break for Ramadan. The members were excited and glad to be together again though they missed their friends who have traveled outside the city for a few months. This feeling helped some of us relate to the little girl in the story who was missing her toy rabbit Felix.
Felix had somehow traveled into the past and was trying to find a way back to Sophie. He visited many civilizations of the past, starting from the Stone Age, through the Olympics of Greece, a Viking village, a Chinese Village and finally ending up in an American Indian settlement. Along the way he wrote letters to Sophie telling her about his adventures and his well being. She eagerly read them and find out more about places Felix wrote of, hoping to bring him home. (Jazakullah Khair Almas Aunty for lending us this book!)
In the book Felix visited a medieval castle and posted drawings pictures of what he saw for Sophie. Like Sophie, we too enjoyed looking at pictures of a castle in Cesis, posted online for us by our traveling friends Uzairuddin and Hafsa.
Finally we ended the session by opening up a mailbox in the room, which contained a letter for each member from someone who loved them; their mothers! For some of the children this was the first letter they had ever received.
