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.
