Mariam has always dreamed of being a flower girl, but her excitement is crushed when her aunts and cousins insist that she isn’t the “right” choice because of her skin tone.  

The sting of their words makes her dread weddings until her cousin Zaina, the bride-to-be, sees her beauty clearly.

How does Zaina make Mariam learn to embrace who she is and step proudly into her role?

Where does real beauty lie?

This gentle story reminds children that worth is not measured by skin, body, or appearance, but by the goodness of their hearts and actions. It opens space for families to talk about compassion, inclusion, and seeing others the way Allah does, with love and fairness. A heartwarming read that nurtures empathy and self-worth in every child.

Sarah Musa

Sarah Musa grew up in rural New Mexico among the rivers, desert sage, cats, and usually several library books. She is the second of ten children, home-schooled, and a bit of a rebel. Sarah is the daughter of a Palestinian father and a Hispanic-American mother. Her books are inspired by her adventures, pain, and passions. Sarah hopes the children of our Ummah always feel that they are part of a bigger whole. Growing up in the United States she often was made to feel that she didn’t belong. She writes to give Muslim children stories where they feel represented so that their feeling of belonging can boldly blossom.
