TESTIMONIALS
-
Connecting the word “author” that we use everyday to an actual person was the best learning moment for my Kindergarten students all year. We all truly enjoyed learning more about Eid and ka’ak, and the special role both play in Muslim family life! The kids have not stopped talking about it, especially my Muslim students who now feel seen! We will do this every year!

Thank you for your generous gift of time yesterday. Our students have not stopped talking about their visit with you. We loved your new book, The Night Before Eid, and are looking forward to reading it again once it is in our library.
