I had a wonderful time reading Hilwa's Gifts to the beautiful children at St. Elizabeth's. 

Many thanks to Huda Al-Marashi for including Hilwa's Gifts!

I am truly honored that Hilwa's Gifts was named a finalist for the Muslim Book Award alongside these wonderful titles and creators. Alhamdulilah. The winner this year was Humera Malik's SAIF'S SPECIAL PATCHES, gorgeously illustrated by Ravan Sader.  Congratulations to Humera and Ravan!
