Nadia and Nadir - School Library Journal
Muslim American siblings Nadia and Nadir are back in this beginner chapter book series all about their adventures with family and friends. In this set of stories, the siblings beg their parents to have a yes day learn about an autistic classmate, help newly immigrated family members settle into America, attend an interfaith festival and a Pakistani wedding, and plan a special show-and-tell for school. Nadia and Nadir cheerfully explore the regular ups and downs of a kid’s life while incorporating details of their Muslim religion and culture, including Arabic words and phrases. A glossary is appended in each volume. VERDICT Recommended for all collections in need of more diverse beginning chapter books.
