grabbed this for a quick and light read (yes, this was meant for 9-12 year-olds, but i just love reading children’s books so much 🥺🥺). i’d say it does its job perfectly. though i really wished it went deeper into each figure's backstory so that the reader could relate and be genuinely inspired by them. the author worked together with muslim artists to illustrate the portraits, and there are also interactive mini-games in the very last chapter, which i’m quite sure will be loved by a lot of young readers. would i recommend this for kids? yea, sure, why not.
