I Am the Night Sky

$14.99

by the teen artists and writers of Next Wave Muslim Initiative

With a foreword by award-winning author Hena Khan

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 Kabob 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.

Meet the Authors

The young Muslim American writers of Next Wave Muslim Initiative wanted to share their stories and art in order to expand understanding of the diversity within the American Muslim experience. With few youth-focused books addressing widespread Islamophobia and stereotypes, NWMI youth decided to change the narrative. Their book has reached readers and leaders across the country through Author Talks, book donations, and book sales. Proceeds from I Am The Night Sky support new authors and fund future programming for the NWMI community.
