This was really sweet and I learned a lot! I think it'd make a great collection for young readers and so glad I read it in season

Wow!! This was my first five star read of 2022 and it deserved each and every star. This anthology promises hope and joy and it DELIVERS. There was incredible diversity of both experiences and identities represented, which I loved. My personal favourites were Perfect by Jamilah Thompkins-Bigelow and Just Like Chest Armour by Candice Montgomery. I also really enjoyed the graphic novel contribution called Seraj Captures the Moon by G. Willow Wilson and Sara Alfageeh - I think it would make an amazing full-length graphic novel. 

As a side-note, I listened to the audiobook which was read by Siiri Scott and Neil Shah. This was really well done; I especially liked Scott’s narration. 

Ugh, I didn’t want this to end and now I’m sad that it has.

This book is beautiful inside and out! The graphic design of the anthology is so, so stunning! I love how diverse the stories are and how they take place in different countries to display the diversity that are the Islam and Muslims! Such an important book that should be part of every middle school classroom!

Reading this during Eid madr me feel so fuzzy inside. It came at a perfect time, when Eid wasn't going to be celebrated as it was going to usually be. And a year later, here I am reading it. It was a beautiful collection. Despite being far from the target audience I enjoyed it thoroughly and probably will read it next Eid. It had surprised me with its range of diversity of Muslim stories. Usually with anthologies, it's very easy to pick my favourite stories as I don't usually like every story in one. In this case, I can't choose. I loved them all. Thank you the editors and contributors for making this happen. It added so much barakat to my 2021 eid.
