Excited to talk about my latest book which is the first installment in the MUSLIM MAVERICKS series. Thank you to the National Council for the Social Studies for supporting my books and connecting authors with educators. Huge thanks to Simon & Schuster for giving the series a home and the best editor @deebazargarpur !
MUSLIM MAVERICKS is a middle grade biographical series celebrating the lives of Muslim changemakers. It was only right that we launched the series with the story of the incredible Maysoon Zayid, a stand-up comedian, author and actress. @maysoonzayid@ncss_network
