My Super Fun Niqabi Mum! by Red

She dances in the kitchen and leapfrogs up the stairs. She’s just a normal person beneath the clothes she wears.

This heartwarming picture book follows a little boy who sees his niqab-wearing mum not as someone different, but as the most fun and amazing person in the world. Filled with colourful, expressive illustrations and gentle humour, My Super Fun Niqabi Mum offers positive representation for Muslim families while opening windows of understanding for all readers. A joyful, inclusive story that highlights the universal bond of love between parent and child.

Struggling with dyslexia as a child, Red loved to weave stories in her head rather than putting pen to paper. Red started writing more once her little boy came along. Her stories are filled with hugs and humor for children and adults alike, and are ideal for bedtime reading – the perfect made-by-mum books! Things that make Red happy are big bowls of spaghetti, cats and Halloween.
