From debut author Maleeha Siddiqui , a modern spin on the Parent Trap trope. Funny and realistic characters and dialogue.

Torn between thumbs up and so-so. Zain just wants to play, but dad is too busy and wants him to slow down. A calm and community-oriented religious leader takes the time to let Zain participate, and no lessons are learned on this seemingly average Friday. Love representative picture books like this where kids can see themselves and their families. #Muslim #InclusivePicturebooks
4 ⭐ This is the true story about the first woman to play in the NCAA with a hijab. This book starts from her girlhood and how she always plays ball up to her college career and even trying to turn pro. But the pros had denied her because of the hijab. She fought to get the rules changed, and she won. This is an interesting book. The author chooses a strange way of telling the story. It has a unique rhythm and wordplay
“The first day of wearing it, Asiya shines like a star.“
I own this book and will forever incorporate it in my classroom. This book is a valuable resource for promoting discussions on cultural diversity, identity, and acceptance
The Proudest Blue tells the story of a young Muslim girl, Faizah, as she and her sister Asiya embrace diversity and express their identity through their hijabs. This beautifully illustrated book teaches the importance of self-confidence and respect for differences
Enlightening upon ptsd responses and how they follow an 8-grader having been violently assaulted because of her orna while with an Iranian fried. It tried to explain her family's opposition to her wearing a hijab instead and desire to connect to Islam, yet that felt disconnected. I didn‘t understand why she went from orna to hijab. Same with families Bangladesh tragic history. Many portions confused me, history wise. Colorful emotions #inclusive
“Dressed in their new Eid clothes, off they went to the mosque!“
I would use this story in my classroom to inform children on new cultures and religions. The story occurs at Eid the celebration after Ramadan in Muslim tradition.
