Layla and The Missing Moon: A Ramadan Story for Children 🌙 ✨ Written by Syed Shah @s.shahir_ & Illustrated by me! #artbysuumiie

I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to illustrate an Islamic children’s book for Ramadan! It is so important to have books available to children with characters they can identify with. Representation truly matters and is crucial during their early stages of child development. When I was a little girl, most of my dolls that I played with or the books I read, consisted of characters with blonde hair and blue eyes. Layla and The Missing Moon consists of characters with brown skin who are wearing Islamic and modest clothing. This way children can identify with the characters and feel excited that the people in their book look like them. I’m so blessed to be part of something so huge! 

This book is available through Amazon & I have a link in my bio if you’d like to purchase one! 

“Layla and The Missing Moon is a story about a young girl who is experiencing the excitement about the holy month of Ramadan. Join her on her journey as she sets out to find the missing moon, and brings her friends and family together to celebrate the most special time of the year for Muslims!” - Syed Shah
