Review quotes

A heartfelt love letter urging Muslim children everywhere to courageously embrace the tenets of their faith. Poetic language and a palette of cool colors that complements the comforting words together evoke warmth, safety, and pride. Illustrations featuring children and adults who have a variety of skin tones, body shapes, and clothing styles reflect the rich diversity of the global Muslim community. Nurturing, encouraging, and necessary. — Kirkus Reviews

Praise for DEAR BLACK CHILD: Through a series of light-filled illustrations, the book stresses that there is space for Black children to become explorers, take center stage, and celebrate their heritage. Rodaah and Mba address Black children's need to feel safe and accepted within their larger communities, the lack of African American representation in history books, and microaggressions they may experience, but they also remind children that they are loved.... A rousing affirmation that Black children belong. — Kirkus Reviews

This upbeat and inspiring missive [is] a triumphant mirror book for Black children everywhere, providing encouragement, validation, and joy. — School Library Journal
