新西兰克赖斯特彻奇两座清真寺遇袭的令人心碎的消息占据了本周的头条，我们再次痛苦地意识到，确保我们的孩子在不同的声音、面孔和文化中成长并尊重它们是多么重要。作为回应,一些女权主义者图书俱乐部创始人布列塔尼·穆拉斯(Brittany Murlas)总结了她最喜欢的十本以伊斯兰教为主题的儿童读物。“现在，比以往任何时候，”她解释说，“是时候在家里对抗伊斯兰恐惧症了，通过庆祝，正常化，并将穆斯林信仰和文化融入我们的睡前故事。”

穆拉斯以对儿童书籍多样性的敏锐思考而闻名，她指出，重要的是，每一本精选的书籍都是由穆斯林作者撰写或出版的，并以积极的方式展示伊斯兰教，她将那些关注穆斯林难民和被禁止上学的穆斯林女孩的共同主题的书籍排除在名单之外。虽然她同意这些书很重要，但她也提出:“如果我们的下一代只会读那些穆斯林被迫害和/或压迫的故事，那么我们要为我们的孩子创造什么样的未来?”在下面的幻灯片中查看她列出的前10名。

Best for ages 4-8

Big Red Lollipop is a fast favorite in so many households. We love that this book isn’t about being Muslim, but simply features Muslim sisters. This book is a gem. It is incredibly hard to find books that normalize diversity, rather than point it out as different.

Best for ages 0-3

This board book features many hats of faith, not just Muslim. Important to note: the author is not Muslim, but the publisher, Hajera Memon, is and we think she’s the coolest.

Best for ages 4-9

Yaffa and Fatima have so many similarities, but come from different religions—Judaism and Islam. We see how they love and respect each other, sneaking food to each other during a food shortage. We love the muted color palette (different and stunning), and how our kids keep picking it off the shelf!">

Best for ages 2-5

From octagonal fountains and crescent moons, this beautiful book helps families learn shapes and normalize Muslim culture in their household. While the illustrations are gorgeous, know that there isn’t really much story or description of Islam. We love that Muslims are shown all over the world, and many women not actually covering their hair—which isn’t uncommon.

Best for ages 4-8

There are a handful of stories about Muslim women wearing hijabs, veils, and khimars (yes, there are lots of different types and names), and this is our favorite by far. We love how our book consultant Ashia Ray (BooksforLittles.com) summarizes this book: “Countering the Islamaphobic nonsense that a khimar is a tool of oppression against women, Mommy’s Khimar celebrates them as a symbol of joy, faith, warmth, and comfort. Wearing a khimar is choice, an honor, and a celebration.”

Best for ages 5-8

The most highly awarded book our this list, Lailah’s Lunchbox is based on the author’s own experience when she immigrated to the U.S. We love how this story features kind, accepting teachers. It makes for a great starting point to discuss what it’s like to be surrounded by people who don’t understand your culture. ">

Best for ages 4-8

This is a magical book that celebrates identity, specifically being Muslim and Latinx. This heartfelt ode from a father to his daughter makes us tear up every time. We featured Yo Soy Muslim in our book club last year, and one parent emailed us complaining that their daughter couldn’t relate to the book. Please know this is exactly what we’re after: kiddos having books that represent all cultures on their bookshelves, not just their own culture!

Best for ages 8-12

Amina, a Pakistani-American Muslim girl, navigates how to balance her culture and blending in at her middle school. Perusing online reviews, you’ll see hundreds of families and kids (from all backgrounds) comment on how incredibly relatable Amina is. This book provides the perfect opening to talk about prejudice with your pre-teens, when Amina’s mosque is vandalized. R.J. Palacio, author of Wonder, has said: “For inspiring empathy in young readers, you can’t get better than this book.” ">

Best for ages 10-13

At the 2016 Olympics, Ibtihaj Muhammad became the first American to compete and win a medal wearing a hijab, but there is so much more to her story! From her school hallways to her first job, Muhammad tells her story of perseverance and courage to speak up. Parents tell us their kiddos won’t put this book down!

Best for ages 0-4

Perfect for toddlers, this board book has stunning painted illustrations and rhythmic words that make it a joy to read. The story describes how families celebrate Ramadan. We love that different multiracial Muslim families are featured on every page.
