Growing Up Muslim: Understanding the Beliefs and Practices of Islam

A good introduction to a world religion

I came across this book when I was assembling a library display for the Ramadan. I was drawn to it because of its cover and table of contents. Growing Up Muslim will provide readers with a concise, but comprehensive introduction to the world’s second largest religion. Although it is cataloged as a children’s book, it is really geared toward teens. However, I would also recommend it to adult readers as well. Ali-Karamali is also the author of The Muslim Next Door: The Qurʼan, the Media, and That Veil Thing.
