🤩Why I loved this book? 🧕🏻It felt like a book for Muslims, not about Muslims. 🕋There are no *unwanted* surprises. (Meaning, as a Muslim, I want to feel respected, not compromised) 🤲 Muslim representation! 📝The prose. The author’s writing is comfortable, and easy. #muslimbooks #autumnallen

🧕🏻💕💕💕💕Eid al Adha is my hijab-anniversary! It was a special khutbah about sacrifice and it tugged at my heart and I’ve never looked back. I’d love to hear about other people’s hijab stories. When did you first start wearing it and why? 💕💕💕🧕🏻 #hijab
Stumbled across this today. Does this look like anyone we know? 👀

My favorite is the one I reread every year which is: ❄️Into Thin Air ❄️ 🥹💔I also love middle grade books because they are always heartfelt and tear jerkers and they are more emotionally powerful than people think(esp ones about diverse kids. They are so well written) 🥹💔 #revpit #revpitwaiting
