Review Quotes

"This beautifully designed "A to Z of Mini Muslim" book is a fun resource for little children to learn the alphabet and enhance their vocabulary, while also learning what it means to be a Muslim in today's world. As author, Mariam Latifi takes a sensitive approach, clearly informed by her own lived experiences as an accomplished primary school educator and Muslim mother.

But there is much more than learning vocabulary. The carefully crafted illustrations, which includes thought bubbles, sub-text, and thoughtful and age-appropriate language are also presented as standalone stories on each page. With vivid colours and a very child-friendly layout, the engaging manner in which the narratives flow from one page to the next capture the most common concepts in the form of one continuous story. There is also instructional material - such as how to perform ablution (wudu). The Aussie ambience is unmistakable, and makes the book unique of its kind!

Equally, for the general public and non-Muslim parents, this book is a great resource to enrich and promote religious knowledge and diversity."

MashaAllah the "A to Z of Mini Muslims" is an excellent resource and is amazing!

I especially love, within the illustrations, how you have subtly incorporated Australian themes as it connects your Australian Audience to the text. I felt like the Aussie Muslim author is connecting well with the Australian readers. All in all it looks amazing and inshaAllah it is a success.

Finally a beautifully crafted A-Z children's book that incorporates Islamic ethics and promotes children's literacy. A must have for young Muslim parents.

Mariam Latifi, an Australian Muslim author takes us not only through letters of the alphabet but common Islamic ethics and etiquettes in a fun and exciting way.
