I’m delighted to introduce you to Amal Abou-Eid. Author of My Muslim Mate – a children’s book that helps kids  see that through talking and learning about each other's cultures, friendships can flourish and lives can work together harmoniously.

 

Amal is a community leader that decided to take her love for teaching and learning and step up to help Muslim kids feel safe, understood and celebrated. This is the first of what I can imagine will be many more resources that allow Muslim children to feel proud of their culture and see it represented in literature in a positive way.   

​

Amal is on a mission to educate families about Islamic faith and to embrace and celebrate Muslim culture.  

 

In this episode, Amal shares:

​

• What inspired her to write a purpose-driven children's book. 

​​

• Misconceptions about Islam faith and Muslim culture.

 

• Conversation starters for families to speak about Muslim culture and people in a positive way. 
   

• Post-natal anxiety and motherhood.
