Yesterday I Was the Moon by Noor Unnahar

4.0

Noor Unnahar's yesterday i was the moon is a perfect balance of poetry that is both personal and observational. She not only writes fervently about her experiences with love and loss with herself and with others, but also mentions her culture, home, and even gives creative advice to her readers. As a Muslim woman, I felt comfort as I was reading Unnahar's poetry on her experience with Islam; it left a grin on my face after reading them. Unnahar also includes art pieces that are synonymous to the ones she has on her Instagram page, @noor_unnahar. Unnahar's novel continues to inspire young readers, including me, to find our voice and share it through our means of creativity.
