From Muslim and Latino poet Mark Gonzales comes a touching and lyrical picture book about a parent who encourages their child to find joy and pride in all aspects of their multicultural identity.

Dear little one,

…know you are wondrous.

A child of crescent moons,

a builder of mosques,

a descendant of brilliance,

an ancestor in training.

Written as a letter from a father to his daughter, YO SOY MUSLIM is a celebration of social harmony and multicultural identities. The vivid and elegant verse, accompanied by magical and vibrant illustrations, highlights the diversity of the Muslim community as well as Indigenous identity. A literary journey of discovery and wonder, YO SOY MUSLIM is sure to inspire adults and children alike. (From GoodReads.)
