[LM_NET] TARGET: Books reflecting Islamic culture

[Anne Paulson <paulsonap@HOTMAIL.COM>]

I discovered during the weeks before the holiday break that my school has a
significant number of students whose families are originally from
Bosnia-Herzegovina and whose religion is Islam. I am sad to admit that my
library has virtually no books with characters from that part of the world
or whose content reflects the Islamic culture in any way.

Do any of you wise and wonderful people know of any fiction (or nonfiction,
but I'm mostly interested in fiction) titles for grades K through 5 that you
could recommend to address my library's woeful lack? I am currently looking
through review materials for ideas but would value any titles you could
suggest. Thanks for your help!
