Announcing Our Newest Release!
It’s time for a…
COVER REVEAL!
Two authors from Next Wave Muslim Initiative (NWMI) reveal the cover of their book and celebrate launch of pre-sales at NWMI's Welcoming Ramadan event.
We celebrated the beginning of Ramadan by announcing our newest book:
I AM THE NIGHT SKY
and Other Reflections by Muslim American Youth
During an era characterized by both hijabi fashion models and enduring post-9/11 stereotypes, ten Muslim American teenagers came together to explore what it means to be young and Muslim in America today. These teens represent the tremendous diversity within the American Muslim community, and their book, like them, contains multitudes. Bilal writes about being a Muslim rocker. Noor reflects about speaking in multiple tongues. Samaa creates her own cartoon Hijab Squad. Ayah responds to online hate. Through poems, essays, artwork, and stories, these young people aim to show their true selves, to build connection, and to create more inclusive and welcoming communities for all.
Order your copy today! Pre-sales begin now, and the book will officially release at the end of Ramadan.
Peek Inside the Book
“we had been given an opportunity to show who we are because for so long nobody believed us when we told them.”
“But how could individual people be expected to be sympathetic? Most of them had probably never even met an Undergrounder. And never would.
But you did.”
“I didn’t know
what my name was
and I found myself speaking in unnatural tongue
when I longed to
breathe flowers.”
