A wonderful book about bravery, such as how bravery can include “a shaky voice.” It’s also about pride in one’s culture, beliefs, and family. An excellent and educational read for all ages! There is a glossary in the back that is especially educational for non-Muslims.

Content Warnings

Moderate: Racism, Xenophobia

Minor: Police brutality

There is a moment where a white woman calls the police on the main character’s father for praying outside. The police walk over and there is an implied threat of the possibility of police violence. There is no violence on the page. The police end up walking away.

Two of my favorite creators teamed up for this book!
A useful book for young Muslim school children and non-Muslims as well. Shows the importance of prayer and how requesting prayer space can be jihad- a struggle.

Excuse me as I write this review through the tears in my eyes. Oh my goodness, the FEELS this book brought on. Emotional, moving, and inspiring. Definitely, something that you will want to come back to over and over with your children.
