“Short profiles and lively, colorful illustrations cover subjects from around the world and over the span of millennia, many who, despite their great significance, aren’t commonly spotlighted in texts for children. A much-needed reminder of the important contributions of Muslim thinkers, scientists, and athletes.” — Kirkus Reviews
