Muslim Girls Rise: Inspirational Champions of Our Time by Aaliya Jaleel, Saira Mir
3.0
This is a fun picture book for elementary kids with a great message. It's a collection of amazing Muslim women who have made a difference, ranging from a vlogging make-up artist to a persecuted Iranian judge. There are Nobel peace prize winners, comic book writers, activists, mathematicians, and clothes designers. Each woman gets a portrait, a quote, and a quick description of how her life was awesome. Some wear hijab, some don't, some are young, some old, some are Arabic, some aren't. So there's a good variety of people, although I was wishing for some LGBTQ content.
The backmatter has a bibliography of the article where the information on each woman was gathered.
I liked this book but the text and pictures didn't wow me. It does what it says on the tin, and it's a very nice tin.
