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.

I read this book to my daughter who is 4 years old and it was PERFECT! We picked this book because I wanted to prepare her for the 100th day of school coming up in the next few months. This book is very relatable to school aged children getting ready to prepare for the 100th day of school celebration.

100th Day of School for Yasmin is a wonderful beginner’s chapter book for early readers. Yasmin’s determination and joy in coming up with a creative costume for the 100th day of school is a great way to encourage other kids to do the same. I remember my own 100 days celebration while I was growing up was so fun to share with classmates! This is a wonderful and enjoyable multicultural read, highly recommended!

First, many thanks to Saadia Faruqi, the author, Debby Rahmalia the artist, Picture Window Books, and NetGalley for the privilege of being able to read and review this cute children's picture/early chapter book. I will share my review to Goodreads, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble upon release.

This is a short early chapter reading book for kids aged 5-7, focusing on the main character of Yasmin, a girl who is celebrating the 100th day of school with her classmates. There is some good Muslim representation in this book, with some terms that children who are familiar with will likely appreciate seeing. The illustratings are cute and show several members of Yasmin's family and class, in different situations like doing a puzzle or playing on the playground. Yasmin's teacher seems like a very nice person and enjoys celebrating with the children, which kids will think is fun.

By the end, Yasmin figures out how to share her happiness for her hard work in her own way, along with her classmates. There is a list of facts about the 100th day of school after the story, as well as a glossary of some of the terms used that all children may not be familiar with. These provide great opportunites for learning and discussions that I could see being great for a classroom setting. The cover is cute and gives a good tonal setting for the book overall. There is even directions for a short craft at the end! I think all kids will find something about this book to enjoy!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an electronic copy to read in exchange for an honest review.

I love the Yasmin series. They are great beginner chapter books. Yasmin needs to come up with an idea to celebrate 100 days of school. With the help of her family she comes up with a few idea. A cute story with wonderful representation.

Thank you so much to Capstone/ Picture Windows Books and Netgalley for the ebook to read and review.

Yasmin is celebrating the 100th day of school and is so excited she wants a really nice costume for the parade at school, but finding something is harder than she thought.

I liked how excited Yasmin was to celebrate, she kept looking and thinking of so many different ideas that maybe she could have had 100 of it on her clothes but they all seemed impossible. I really enjoyed how her family were all there to help give her ideas to help her see what she could do.

This was a very adorable story. I knew nothing about this particular celebration at schools, but it was so interesting to learn, I really liked how they help celebrate and encourage the education by doing this, it’s very sweet.

I really liked Yasmin and her sweet family, I also loved that her friends were all really creative with their costumes too. The illustrations were adorable within this book, I loved all the facts and activities at the end, there is so much extra stuff for children to do.

Very cute, very easy to read book about what it is like to celebrate 100th day of school.
Yasmin is in 2nd grade, and is looking forward to celebrating the 100th day of school. She keeps tyring to think of ways to represent 100. Her friends do things like glue 100 gumballs on their hat, and another gets a necklace that has 100 beads.


But Yasmin celebrates her great-grandfather who fought in, what we presume, was WWII, by wearing his photo on her t-shirt.


So, we get both the celebrating family, as well as celebrating 100th day, all rolled into one.


Easy way to introduce multicultural ideas into young readers minds. There is even information at the end of the book that talks about more things we should know both the number 100 and well as what 100th Day of school is all about.


This book is going to be part of a series of Holiday and Celebrations with Yasmin.

The Yasmin books are always a big hit at my library. They are wonderful transitional chapter books for new early chapter readers. The colorful images and the amount of white space around the text is crucial for growing readers. It helps them keep engages with not only the text but the story overall. I also love the fact that it is an Own Voices author, it’s important that we ensure kids can see themselves in the story and they are being written by someone of their own culture.

I loved this book. Yasmin's school is having a parade to celebrate the first 100 days, and she wants to wear something creative that also reflects her personality. I love that she asks for help, but does not take the first idea that's offered or the easiest. She truly wants something unique.

I loved to see Yasmin's family and bits of her culture represented so cheerfully and colorfully on the page.

I live in the UK so we don't have anything here to celebrate the 100th Day of School so this was a new concept for me. In the story, Yasmin and her friends are celebrating reaching their 100 days of learning at school and they are looking for something related to 100 to wear for the day when they celebrate.

The book has a nice touch where Yasmin speaks to her grandmother (Nani) about the dilemma on what to wear and they come up with something unique and different to her class mates.

The illustrations in the book were really nice and bright, I liked the text wasn't obstructed by the writing and the layout was spot on. The story was a really sweet one and I wish we did something similar in the UK as it would be great to celebrate what they have learnt too as starting and attending school is a big thing!

It is 5 stars from me for this one - very highly recommended!
