Chapter 4

Campaign Week

Sadiq opened the door to his house and took off his shoes.

“Salaam, Baba!” he called out to his dad.

“Here comes the candidate!” said Baba.

“How is it going, qalbi?” asked Hooyo.

“I don’t know, Hooyo,” said Sadiq as he hugged his mom. “Manny is mad at me. I have to give a speech. It’s A LOT.”

“Help me set the table,” said Aliya. She handed Sadiq a stack of plates. “You can tell us about it.”

“I have to use my speech to get votes,” said Sadiq. “I can talk about my ideas and why they’re the best.”

“Does everyone have to give a speech?” asked Nuurali.

“If you want to get votes, yes,” replied Sadiq. “Ms. Battersby says it’s important. You can change people’s minds.”

“I think you’ll do great,” said Nuurali. “You are very convincing. We always end up watching your pick for movie night!”

Sadiq smiled. “I have good suggestions!”

“I can help you practice your speech,” offered Aliya.

“And I’ll help you with your posters,” said Nuurali. “I’ve got some construction paper. And Aliya has some new markers too.”
