Salaam: A Muslim American Boy's Story
A sensitive and loving portait of a Muslim-American family Meet Inram, a young Muslim American boy who lives in the San Francisco Bay Area. He likes to do the same things as most kids his age--play in the park, take karate lessons, and tell jokes with his friends. Inram knows that some people don't understand what it means to be a Muslim. He wants to help everyone see that Muslims strive to be good people, just like people of other faiths do. Tricia Brown and Ken Cardwell have created a warm, sensitive portrait of a boy and his family who are both Muslim and American at the same time.

Great Way to Introduce Young Children to Islam and Other Cultures
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
A profile of a real-life American Muslim boy and his family, depicted through simple text and photographs. This book introduces the five pillars of Islam, and cultural aspects of Islam such as hijab (women's headscarves) in an accessible way, as well as broaching the difficult topic of religious intolerance. My daughter was especially fascinated by the photographs, and flipped through the book again and again.

This is a disarming, affecting, simple story about a Muslim-American Boy. I like it also because it depicts a real family, not a "typical" family. I found the story easy to read, easy to understand, yet deeply affecting and interesting. It is a perfect story to read aloud to my ESOL students, some who are Muslim. A really, really good book.

Simply beautiful, honest and real. I cannot think of a better book to share with young children, both Muslim and non-Muslim, to learn about and appreciate a culture lived by millions in the United States.

This book is excellent for kids of all ages. I bought this for my 4 year old twins and I've read it to them several times. The photos are excellent and the writing is simple and beautifully written. Makes a great gift as well!
