Muslim Girls Rise: Inspirational Champions of Our Time

#MuslimGirlsRise ❤️ I’ve been meaning to order this for a while, finally did, and we love it! Saira Mir, wrote this beautiful book, sharing the inspiring stories of several Muslim women. It is truly inspiring. I’m so grateful for the world my daughter (and sons, but so much girl power with this book right now!) get to grow up in, where education, people, their stories, beliefs, their ideas and perspectives, their LOVE is so accessible and shared... a world where she can truly accomplish anything she sets her mind to. “One child, one teacher, one book, and one pen can change the world.” —Malala Yousafzai

In the UK, Muslims are the most abused, accounting for 45% of physical and verbal attacks. As most Muslims are predominantly South Asian in the UK, we’re also troubled by further problems due to the colour of our skin. There is an alarming lack of representation for Muslims on screen let alone south Asians, so even though this book is small in comparison to the representation we need, it was a shining beacon for my daughter who has been racially abused twice in the last week.

Bought this book for my nieces. I know there gonna love it. Very well made. Love the pictures. Very important stories.

This is the book our children (and adults need)! It highlights the stories of muslim woman pushing boundaries and defying the odds to live out their truth. As a 30 year old muslim woman, I learned about many woman I'd never heard of but who clearly deserved to be lifted and known. Its also suitable and relevant for non muslim readers...the message of empowerment, self discovery and truth is universal. I highly recommend!

Great book which inspires. Very nice illustrations too.
