Humera Malik
People describe Saif as shy, but his mother’s patchwork quilt preserves memories that show more of who he is. As he considers its patches, he remembers being brave on a large slide, persistent while learning to read the Quran, and helpful while cleaning the mosque. The quilt helps Saif recognize his many capabilities and see himself as still growing rather than defined by a single description.
