“Amina’s anxieties are entirely relatable, but it’s her sweet-hearted nature that makes her this kind of winning protagonist.” —Entertainment Weekly

A Pakistani-American Muslim girl struggles to stay true to her family’s vibrant culture Even as concurrently blending in at school after tragedy strikes her community in this sweet and moving middle grade novel from the award-winning creator of It’s Ramadan, Curious George and Golden Domes and Silver Lanterns.

Amina has never been comfortable in the spotlight. She is happy just hanging out with her best friend, Soojin. Except for now that she’s in middle school everything feels different. Soojin is suddenly hanging out with Emily, one of the most “cool” girls in the class, and even talking about changing her name to something more “American.” Does Amina wish to start changing too? Or hiding who she is to slot in? Even as Amina grapples with these questions, she is devastated when her local mosque is vandalized.

Amina’s Voice brings to life the joys and challenges of a young Pakistani American and highlights the many ways in which one girl’s voice can help bring a diverse community together to love and beef up each and every other.
