All of this week, I have been listening and learning and I will continue to listen.

Raising anti-racist kids starts at home.

What does your child’s bookshelf look like?

I, along with other fellow Muslim bloggers and authors, have compiled our own lists of Muslim Kid Lit representing Black Muslim families.

Two things I came to realize:

1 – We need more Black stories in Muslim Kid Lit.

2 – I need to do better and add more of them in my bookshelf, inshaAllah.

Welcome!

This is my cozy corner of the internet dedicated to Muslim Kid Literature.

I am on an endless search for faith-based books that captivate the hearts and minds of young Muslims. By offering detailed book reviews, parents, teachers, and librarians will have the opportunity to make informed decisions when investing in their child’s bookshelf.

Let’s connect!
