My Muslim Mate

Description

Young Charlie is a true-blue young Aussie, and so is his friend Khaled.

They spend time together on their scooters, as well as chatting about the things that they share, and the things that make them different. My Muslim Mate is the story of how, through talking and learning about each other’s cultures, friendships can flourish and lives can work together harmoniously.

The story explains aspects of Islam that are often misunderstood, and is a great resource for non-Muslim families who wish to learn more, as well as Muslim students in classrooms across Australia who can access the book to help express themselves.

AMAL ABOU-EID is a passionate educator and very busy mother to 3 young boys. Living in Melbourne, Australia, Amal is surrounded by people of various faiths and cultures.

The daughter of Lebanese migrants, Amal identifies as a Muslim Lebanese Australian and credits the splendours of multiculturalism as her inspiration for writing.

Hoping to educate readers about her faith and her cultural heritage, Amal writes books which explain aspects of Islam that are often misunderstood and misrepresented.

She hopes her books will give Muslim children stories they can relate to and stories they can identify with. She hopes her stories will educate readers and inspire others to share their own stories, too.
