This is an initiative which brings the best Muslim Kids’ literature from around the world to Scotland. The books are those which are not normally available in Scottish bookstores and libraries. My objective is to encourage Scottish Muslim kids to read more by giving them the opportunity to read books in which they see themselves. Many of the books contain Muslim protagonists but the stories are simply fun, engaging and full of universal messages such as hope and kindness and therefore it is also a great opportunity for all kids to read more diverse books. We are showcasing over 100 titles this year with books for small babies to novels for Young Adults.
