Her Majesty Queen Ranian Al Abdullah, the Queen of Jordan, is the author of this touching story about acknowledging our differences, appreciating those qualities/factors that make us different and fortifying lasting friendships.

The added bonus is two varying sandwiches are at the center of all these life-long lessons!

Can anyone say….GORGEOUS??!!!
