I enjoyed this book and it reminded me of the days when I was excited about the 100th day of school. I'm not sure if schools still do these celebrations or if it is just elementary schools that do but I enjoyed it regardless. My daughter is 3 and has yet to experience school but she enjoyed this book for the artwork. She got distracted here and there but she enjoyed the parts that kept her attention. Overall a goo read that I cant wait to bring out when she is in school!

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the e-ARC of this book.

This is another great one in the Yasmin series.

In 100th DAY OF SCHOOL WITH YASMIN by Saadia Faruqi with art by Debby Rahmalia, Yasmin is struggling to find a costume for the 100th day of school parade. With some help from her family, she comes up with the perfect costume for the big day. The book’s creative and satisfying resolution will be applauded by many young readers who are getting ready for their own 100th day events. With early reader friendly short chapters and colorful illustrations, this first book in a new series featuring reader favorite Yasmin engaging in a variety of holidays and celebrations is a great addition to the Yasmin family.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for sharing an eARC of the book with me.

Yasmin books are fantastic for those kids who are not quite ready for some transitional chapter books but have moved past the typical early readers.

I love how this deals with the hundredth day of school. It is a fantastic milestone to celebrate within the classroom and school that is entirely secular.

This deals with the milestones and different ways to show the significance of 100. I am excited to add it to my library and think it has a place in elementary school libraries.

Thank you to Capstone and Net Galley for the DRC! All opinions are my own.

One of the launch titles for a series where Yasmin celebrates specific days at school, this one glories in the fact the term is 100 days old – yes, that's apparently a thing. But how do you celebrate it in fashion? The answer lies in family – and this one is a Muslim American one, although it really doesn't have to be – the story is not at all specific to any one audience and beyond a couple of non-English words dropped in here and there our heroine could be anyone. What she is is presented in three very short chapters, and it's all a friendly enough, quick enough read, for those who still need a pretty low word count from their pages.

100% Originality

This book has such an original twist on the 100th day of school. I feel like the included facts bring a united feeling to the readers. Definitely would make a great classroom gift during the winter holidays or at the beginning of the school year as something for a classroom to look forward to.

The illustrations pull you into prepping at home to being in the classroom on the big day.

I received a free copy of this book from Saadia Faruqi and Capstone. I am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions are my own.

I read this book with my daughter. We enjoyed learning how Yasmin celebrates her 100th day of school. She is excited and how creative she was for her celebration. Yasmin celebrates her great-grandfather by wearing his photo on her t-shirt. This started our conversation on how to celebrate our 100th day of school coming next year.
Thank you Picture Window Books (Capstone) for the ARC through Netgalley.

I really enjoyed this picture book! It gives h the e history and fun facts of the 100th day celebration and what happened on the 100th day! I love how Yasmin is searching for the perfect costume for the celebration! Reminds me of my daughter of always in need to find the perfect outfit for a particular holiday! And overall, educational!

Delightful illustrations accompany the story of a young girl’s 100th day of school. Fun facts about 100th day and the number 100 and a puzzle-making activity round out the book.

Concept is nice to show the facts from the city of California that some good teacher back then in 1979 started to celebrate the 100 days of initial learning of children in school to make them more enthusiastic about education. I liked the way Author express a child's excitement to celebrate her first 100 days of learning at her school.
I suggest we should start doing this in India also, as currently this is not in run here in schools. However, there are many more interactive and intriguing activities which make them learn way better but I say, this will be an adventure and add-on activity to make them gather their learning and prepare for future course of actions too.

In addition, what I found lacking or needing corrections is on first hand, where Yasmin's teacher announced that “To celebrate, I brought one hundred treats! Happy 100th Day of School!”, there the illustrations required to show more children as the treat is on large level, an equal celebration. Secondly, why Yasmin was at her Maternal Grandparents house while being at school and living with her parents there too? Why not paternal grandparents shown as per society standards? Children observe such little things and learn that way only.

Apart from this all, the 'Did you know?' and 'Glossary' section were surely help young readers to learn things. Illustrations were also vibrant, colorful and worth appreciation. I appraise Debby more than Saadia as she brought up those all required emotions and expressions so lively with her art.

For me it is 4.0/5.0

Super cute book, and surprisingly educational! This book is absolutely perfect as a first chapter book for kids. It's written really well and is nicely organized, with a clear plot. Additionally, I really liked all of the activities/fun facts/extra material at the end of the book. This allows kids to learn from this book, engage with its characters, and apply things from the book to their own lives, which is perfect in helping the learning process. As for the illustrations, they were detailed and colorful, and accurately captured the wonder and excitement of Yasmin's story, which will make readers excited for their own 100th day of school. Lastly, I admired Yasmin's creativity in this story, and I know that she will inspire young readers to be creative as well.
Bravo!

So cute! I remember one time we celebrated the 100th day of school in kindergarten, and I wore a tshirt with 100 stamps on it. Perfect book to go along with 100th day of school celebrations!

I didn't get to celebrate the 100th day of school when I was young, but it's such a good idea and seems like so much fun. Celebrating in the middle of the school year helps kids see their accomplishments. This book is really cute, with bright pictures, and I enjoyed how Jasmin came up with so many ideas for 100 things. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

I received an electronic ARC from Capstone through NetGalley.
I'm excited for this new series with Yasmin.
In this first book, she celebrates 100 days of school. Readers see her work math to show some of the ways number can add up to 100. Then, we see her struggle with a costume idea for the 100th Day Parade. Her family offers ideas and she figures out what to make with help from her Nani. Her classmates love her costume and the information she shares about her heritage. The illustrations are brightly colored and offer support for the text. An easy read for lower to mid-elementary readers.
Looking forward to the rest of the books in this series.

I love the fact that this book has color representation. This is a great book for kids starting school! I loved the illustrations as well!

What a cute informative read. I read it to my son and he was captivated with the beautiful pictures and the creative her and her class mates dressed up for the 100th day of school. The perfect children's read.

Such an adorable read! I remember being very excited for the 100th day when I was in school and this was a great read. I also appreciate the end of the book where readers learn some facts and new words! I highly recommend this book to any teachers!

The 100th day of school is always a big deal in early elementary. The 100th Day of School with Yasmin looks at celebrating that day, but also uses it as an opportunity to show how it's important to learn about our family history. The illustrations kept my kiddo engaged and he is very excited for when he will hit his 100th day of school. The facts and activities at the end were an added bonus.

Thanks to Capstone and NetGalley for an eARC of this book for an honest review.

I have seen a million photos on social media about kids celebrating 100 days of school. This year my first grader will celebrate it for the first time. He was excited to read about it in this book.
The pictures were colorful and held his attention. Most of the words are easy enough for a first grader to read . He did need some help with the cultural terms but the glossary in the back helped understand what they meant.
He really got excited to read all the interesting facts about the day. This book is a must read for any parent or child getting ready to celebrate the 100th day of school.
I received an ARC of this book, all opinions are my own.

My youngest granddaughter and I have read all the Yasmin books, so it was exciting to read the start of this new spin-off series. We look forward to reading the upcoming books about other celebrations. These books are great for beginner readers who are anxious to get started on chapter books. This one in particular even led to doing some impromptu math problems about numbers that add up to 100. It was also fun thinking up possible costumes for 100th Day celebrations. Thanks to NetGalley, Capston and the author for an advance copy to review.
