We are loving the Aussie Muslim books in this list!

It's here, it's here!
"The month that makes the year" written and illustrated by Inda Ahmad Zahri. It is a delight for the eyes and the ears of the little ones.
It is the first Ramadan picture book published in Australia by a major publisher @AllenAndUnwin

Love this book. Beautiful story about a girl with just toooo maaaany Hijabs. She is stylish & offers services to less stylish friends & Fam. Good Representation matters. Great work @razeenareads & @manal_mirza_

[Randa Abdel-Fattah @RandaAFattah]

I’m thrilled our book is a CBCA Notable!
Recognised for “artistic and literary unity”. So proud of what we achieved with ‘11 Words for Love’ @slamup ! Can’t stop smiling.

'Dear young girl in the bubble-gum-pink hijab who wandered in on the book launch…
I want to apologise.
Your eyes looking up in adoration at the 70-ish white grandmother while she autographed your copy of our book…'

Yallah, get your pens out. We need this book.

[Shaherazad Shelves @shaherazadshelf]

Calling all #PB & chapbook writers:

While we don't usually take these categories, we're making the exception for a story that helps Muslim children feel safe & comfortable for NOT celebrating holidays like Halloween, Christmas & Easter due to religious reasons. Can be a series!

[The Right Pen Collective @therightpenco]

Excuse us while we totally judge this book by its cover!

[The Right Pen Collective @therightpenco]

@Tamarahq_writes Yum, yum, yum! We're invited to the book launch party, right?

[The Right Pen Collective @therightpenco]
