. of Mini Muslims
“This beautifully designed A to Z of Mini Muslims book is a fun resource for little children to learn the alphabet and enhance their vocabulary, while also learning what it means to be a Muslim in today’s world. As author, Mariam Latifi takes a sensitive approach, clearly informed by her own lived experiences as an accomplished primary school educator and Muslim mother.
But there is much more than learning vocabulary. The carefully crafted illustrations, which includes thought bubbles, sub-text, and thoughtful and age-appropriate language are also presented as standalone stories on each page. With vivid colours and a very child-friendly layout, the engaging manner in which the narratives flow from one page to the next capture the most common concepts in the form of one continuous story. There is also instructional material - such as how to perform ablution (wudu). The Aussie ambience is unmistakable, and makes the book unique of its kind!
Equally, for the general public and non-Muslim parents, this book is a great resource to enrich and promote religious knowledge and diversity."

“The A to Z of Mini Muslims is a very unique book for the Muslim children to start with, I am extremely amazed by going through it.
In my experience as a teacher/counsellor capturing kids' attention is extremely difficult task especially in the edge of visual media, which this book has done very professionally.
Knowing Mariam Latifi for more than 25 years makes me proud that once I was teaching her.
The way the author has put this beautiful collection on the alphabet together is incredible.
I was thinking something like A-Z for my own grandkids.
In my humble opinion this small in volume but huge in concept beautifully illustrated book is the best book in it’s range I have seen so far.
I found my imagination been presented in the subject of child basic Islamic education as I was turning the pages Alhumdulilah.
As the President of the Afghan Community Support Association of NSW, I congratulate Mariam Latifi for the accomplishments of such a great and useful text book."

“Children are full of questions, and if kids are not familiar with Islam, this serves as a great introduction for them. Mariam Latifi has filled each page with lots of facts but never in an overwhelming way. The illustrations by Saba Yasmeen are cheerful and full of Australian references."
