BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3), EL - ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
19 contemporary Muslim women are featured in this inspirational picture book; Amani Al-Khatahtbeh who created the MuslimGirl website; Dalia Mogahed, the first Muslim in hijab to advise a U.S. president; Ibtihaj Muhammad Olympic Athlete; and Iiyasah Shabazz, author and daughter of Malcolm X just to name a few.
Each spotlight is just 1 paragraph long, containing a concise description of her background and what makes her noteworthy. Great illustrations, this book is not just for Muslim girls, it's for everyone. I especially loved the list at the end encouraging the reader to find their own passion.
