AMINA’S SONG releases in just a week, and I’d love for you to be part of the celebration! Although it’s tricky launching a book during a pandemic, one advantage is being able to have all of you join me virtually, from around the country and globe! Please join me, in conversation with the wonderful and talented Aisha Saeed, for a virtual launch event on March 10 at 7pm, hosted by Politics & Prose. I will be signing and personalizing all pre-ordered copies and am excited to see you there!
I’m grateful for all of your support and enthusiasm for this book! The pre-order campaign with First Book continues until the on-sale date, March 9. All pre-orders will count toward the copies of AMINA’S VOICE that will be donated to First Book!
I’m thrilled that the continuation of Amina’s story, which explores the meaning of home, how our hearts expand to embrace new people and places, and how we see each other and accept narratives, is resonating with readers. Thank you to everyone who has been reviewing and posting about the book! I’m honored by your feedback and hope you will continue to spread the word about the books among friends, young readers, and the book loving community.
I’ll be at a bunch of virtual conferences and festivals over the next few months, so please check here for details, in case you want to tune in! And if your classroom, school, organization, or book club would like to schedule a virtual event with me, please get in touch.
In case you missed it, I was on Book Joy Live with John Schu, where I had a blast talking about AMINA’S SONG and my other books, and also sharing two new books I’m excited about, THE PASSOVER GUEST by Susan Kusel and UNSETTLED by Reem Faruqi. Please check both of these wonderful titles out!
Finally, the paperback of CRESCENT MOONS AND POINTED MINARETS also releases on March 9. I’m excited for this book to get into the hands of more readers. I don’t know if you heard that the third book in the series, ONE SUN AND COUNTLESS STARS: A MUSLIM BOOK OF NUMBERSis coming out next year!
Order Crescent Moons and Pointed Minarets
Thank you for reading this, and for all that you do to support me and to share my stories! I wouldn’t be able to do this without you.
With love,
Hena
