Muslims in America, an Investigation of Children's Literature

The books I have chosen are all acclaimed reads. Why I have picked them over other acclaimed books is because of their individual strengths. "Muhammad" serves to give a youth-friendly approach to learning the foundation of Islam in a respectful and informative manner. "Silly Chicken" creates its own sense of normality which pushes the boundaries of what is normal, while maintaining a humorous and human tone. "My Name Is Bilal" encourages students to have pride in their own identities, even if this means being different. "Nadia’s Hands" has a similar approach, but focuses on a young girl rather than a boy.
