Amina’s Voice

by Hena Khan

The first book in a series of two, Amina’s Voice tells the story of a 12-year-old Pakistani-American girl who struggles to stay true to her family’s culture, devoted to their Muslim faith, all while fitting in at school and finding the courage to do what she secretly aspires – sing! Sweet-natured Amina exudes childhood innocence and wonder, while her journey of self-acceptance after experiencing a racist hate crime weaves a most hopeful coming-of-age story that illustrates the beauty of bravery, community, and working together to overcome adversity. Middle school woes and the universal themes of insecurities, parental expectations, and finding inner strength transcend culture, race, and religion to inspire empathy in even the youngest of readers.
