Little Leaders meets Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls in this
gorgeous nonfiction picture book that introduces readers to nineteen
powerhouse Muslim women who rose up and made their voices heard.
Long ago, Muslim women rode into battle to defend their dreams. They
opened doors to the world’s oldest library. They ruled, started
movements, and spread knowledge.
Today, Muslim women continue to make history.
Once upon a time, they were children with dreams, just like you.
Discover the true stories of nineteen unstoppable Muslim women of the
twenty-first century who have risen above challenges, doubts, and
sometimes outright hostility to blaze trails in a wide range of fields.
Whether it was the culinary arts, fashion, sports, government, science,
entertainment, education, or activism, these women never took “no” for
an answer or allowed themselves to be silenced. Instead, they worked to
rise above and not only achieve their dreams, but become influential
leaders.
Through short, information-rich biographies and vibrant illustrations,
Muslim Girls Rise introduces young readers to the diverse and important
contributions Muslim women have made, and role models they may never
have heard of before, but whose stories they will never forget.

From the author of Not Quite Snow White comes a story
about a young Muslim boy celebrating the many reasons he loves
going to his local masjid in this jubilant and playful picture book
perfect for fans of Mommy’s
Khimar and Abdul’s Story. Friday is Kamal’s
favorite day of the week because he gets to go to the masjid for
Jumu’ah prayer. The masjid is where he can be with his friends,
hear the teachings of the imam, and pray with the community that he
loves so dearly. He just can’t help the bounce in his step, the
smile on his face, or the joy bubbling up in his chest every time
Friday rolls around! Inspired by the famous nursery rhyme “This
Is the House That Jack Built,†each spread in this buoyant
picture book builds on the rhythmic list of things Kamal loves
about the masjid.
From Althea Gibson author Megan Reid and rising star artist Aaliya
Jaleel, illustrator of Under My Hijab, comes the first picture book
about trailblazing mathematician Maryam Mirzakhani, the first woman
to win the world's most prestigious honor in mathematics. Perfect
for fans of Hidden Figures and Mae Among the Stars. As a little
girl, Maryam Mirzakhani was spellbound by stories. She loved
reading in Tehran's crowded bookstores, and at home she'd spend
hours crafting her own tales on giant rolls of paper. Maryam loved
school, especially her classes in reading and writing. But she did
not like math. Numbers were nowhere near as interesting as the
bold, adventurous characters she found in books. Until Maryam
unexpectedly discovered a new genre of storytelling: In geometry,
numbers became shapes, each with its own fascinating
personality-making every equation a brilliant story waiting to be
told. As an adult, Maryam became a professor, inventing new
formulas to solve some of math's most complicated puzzles. And she
made history by becoming the first woman-and the first Iranian-to
win the Fields Medal, mathematics' highest award. Maryam's Magic is
the true story of a girl whose creativity and love of stories
helped her-and the world-to see math in a new and inspiring way.
