Thumb Wars

A heart-warming story about friendship and integration. When an Arabic-speaking student named Hassan starts at school, he immediately makes friends with his new classmates - which leaves Jacob feeling left out. After noticing this, Hassan works to improve his English to find a way to build bridges with Jacob.
