My latest guest is Amal Abou-Eid. Author of My Muslim Mate - a children's book that helps kids see that through talking and learning about each other's cultures, friendships can flourish and lives can work together harmoniously. Amal is a community leader that decided to take her love for teaching and learning and step up to help Muslim kids feel safe, understood and celebrated. This is the first of what I can imagine will be many more resources that allow Muslim children to feel proud of their culture and see it represented in literature in a positive way. I chat with Amal about why she wanted to create this book and the response it's received. We also talk about the main misconceptions about Islam and being Muslim. Amal shares some tips on how Melbourne families can have a positive conversation with your kids about the culture. Amal is on a mission to educate families about Islamic faith and to embrace and celebrate Muslim culture. If you're listening to this episode, let us know by sharing it in your Insta stories.
