Description

Due to circumstances beyond our control, this event has been canceled. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Let’s take a look at Muslim-positive, Muslim-centric books for kids and teens – celebrate what’s there and look at how far we still need to go, with Newbery Honor winning author Jasmine Warga (Other Words for Home), author Siman Nuurali (the Sadiq series), We Need Diverse Books mentorship winner Tahira Bryant Naeem, and Mena and Zena of Girls of the Crescent. Moderated by middle school teacher Saina Sajjadi.

This event is part of KidLitCon – an annual conference for people who care about and/or blog about children’s and young adult literature.
