In “I Am the Night Sky & Other Reflections by Muslim American Youth” 10 teens draw on their experience as Muslims living in the U.S. to create a powerful collection of poetry, artwork, mini-memoir and short fiction. A combined effort of the Next Wave Muslim Initiative in Washington, DC and Shout Mouse Press, this book was selected by Missouri Librarians as part of the new Dogwood Readers Award for Nonfiction titles for grades 9-12 and is a must read for any teen or adult seeking an understanding of and empathy toward Muslim American youth.
