Amazing Muslims Who Changed the World

This beautiful hardback is packed with information about incredible Muslims who’ve made an impact on the world. There are so many real-life stories to discover, spanning the globe – and many centuries too.There are familiar names, such as Sir Mo Farah, Mohammed Ali and Yusef Islam (Cat Stevens), but also names that children in the UK might not know. Read about Fatima Al-Fihri, who founded one of the first universities (in Morocco) and Dr Hawi Abdi, a doctor in current-day Somalia. Discover how Zheng He explored the world from China in the 15th century, and that Al-Jahiz from Iraq thought about evolution a thousand years before Charles Darwin, plus many more. There are 30 mini biographies in total – all showcasing people with tenacity and drive. 

There are also activities at the back. Crack a code like Noor Inaya Khan. Write poetry like Rumi. Design your own curved building like Zaha Hadid. The entire book is full of inspiring content. Beautifully illustrated by six illustrators, this will appeal to fans of real-life stories, and the Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls or the Little People Big Dreams series.
