From award-winning author Reem Faruqi, ofAmira's Picture Day, Lailahs Lunchbox, Milloo'sMind,andUnsettled, comes anempowering picture book about a girl who standsup for her Muslim culture and identity and counters bullying with love, peace, and kindness.
My name is Salma, which means peace. Islam also means peace. I wish more people knew that.
Salma is Muslim, an identity she takes pride in. But not everyone understands Salmas religion the way she does, including news reporters, and even a boy in her class, who bullies Salma for belonging to the culture and faith she loves. However, when things go too far, Salma says, Enough is enough! and finds the courage to defend herself while also spreading a message of peace.
