A Pakistani-American Muslim girl struggles to stay true to her family’s vibrant culture while simultaneously blending in at school after tragedy strikes her community in this sweet and moving middle grade novel from the award-winning author 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 now that she’s in middle school everything feels different. Soojin is suddenly hanging out with Emily, one of the “cool” girls in the class, and even talking about changing her name to something more “American.” Does Amina need to start changing too? Or hiding who she is to fit in? While 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 support each other.

Sophia ★★★★★

My daughter finished this in two nights and immediately asked if there were more books like it. The way it balances the cultural traditions with the everyday school struggles felt really genuine, and the community tragedy is handled with such care.

Ava ★★★★★

I read this aloud with my fifth grader and we both got teary during the mosque bombing chapter—it handles grief in such a gentle way. The way Amina navigates between her Urdu-speaking home and her school friends felt so real, and I loved that it never lectures the reader.

Sofia X. ★★★★★

My daughter finished this in two sittings and immediately asked if there were more books like it. The way Amina navigates between her home culture and school life feels so genuine, and the community tragedy part is handled with a gentle touch that sparked some good conversations between us.
