Huda F Cares? by Huda Fahmy In this laugh-out-loud funny sequel to "Huda F Are You?," the Fahmys are off to Disney World, but self-conscious Huda worries her family will stand out too much. Huda and her sisters can't believe it when her parents announce that they're actually taking a vacation this summer... to DISNEY WORLD! But it's not quite as perfect as it seems. First Huda has to survive a 24-hour road trip from Michigan to Florida, with her sisters annoying her all the way. And then she can't help but notice the people staring at her and her family when they pray in public--there's not as many Muslim families around like in her hometown of Dearborn. It's a vacation of forced (but unexpectly successful?) sisterly bonding, a complicated new friendship, a bit more independence, and some mixed feelings about her family's public prayers. Huda is proud of her religion and who she is, but she still sure wishes she didn't care so much what other people thought.

Bilal's Bad Day by Neelum Khan; Alice Larsson (Illustrator) "Have you ever had a day when your big feelings bubbled and fizzed inside until you felt you might explode? We’ve all been there, and today Bilal is having a day like that. Bilal’s Bad Day is a charmingly coloured, interactive book; Spin the dial and help Bilal choose a calming strategy to change chaos back to calm. It aims to show young Muslim minds how to draw upon the remembrance of Allah (Swt) and take practical steps to help themselves when their big emotions are threatening to take over."--Back cover.
